    If I know truckers, they will want to use a higher-power GMRS channel. Like 19

    Well there are 50 watt channels which would work better.

    Isn't the 50 watt for repeater use only? I'm not sure. Not that anyone would know or care if you ran higher power on the lower channels.

    there are two sets of ‘channels’ for 50 watt output, one is shared repeater output and simplex and another for repeater input only which also has 50 watt output. These are channels 15 to 22, everything else is low power output channels.

    The tricky part is GMRS handhelds are limited to 5 watts. Mobiles can do 50 watts
