Hello. I am new to this whole GMRS radio thing. I am actually a licensed electrician. A lot of my work is done in commercial buildings and such. I have bought a pair of cheap midland radios for work so we can communicate when we have no cell phone coverage. I wanted to get more watts of power so I went ahead and applied for a GMRS license. I live in Connecticut. I then went ahead and bought a set of Baofeng 888s. When I tested them it didn't seem to be any better than my other radios. I then noticed that these need to be programmed. My question is, if I get the software and the USB cable to program these, will I be able to operate at a higher watt if I program them just for GMRS? Thanks.
