Oh, it's a 5-watt radio, so it's pretty standard. I really avoid the high-power ones, too. I really don't want high-power, you know, right next to my head and so forth like that. Yeah, 5-watt radio, and it has a low-power setting, which is actually about 2 watts, really higher than I would like. For a low-power setting, I really prefer something that's really low-power, that I can use with my node, which is usually like 10, 15, 20, maybe 40 or 50 p's away at the most usually. And actually for that, the one that I like is this little TIED Radio TDH3 with some custom firmware which was a thing for a little while and yeah, that's one of those community projects it didn't last long and they kind of left it hanging right in the middle. But anyway, I've got some custom firmware on that thing that lets me adjust the power in 20 milliwatt increments and so I have the power on that one, it turns out 100 milliwatts. And I put this little stubby antenna, another rubber duck, this is a little short, you know, stubby And it's like, you know, five centimeters tall and it actually came with the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, little stubby antenna on there and running a hundred kilowatts. It makes it kind of like having a remote wireless speaker mic that works all over the house. So it kind of kilowatts, you know, I can sit there and call the net all day long and not burn up the radio where, you know, at five watts, yeah, I learned the hard way about that with my very first radio, actually, the first, uh, you know, when I first got back.
