Repeater offset calculator
Enter a repeater output and get the frequency your radio transmits on.
Transmit on 467.6750 MHz
GMRS repeaters use a +5 MHz offset. Add the repeater's PL tone to both sides.
Antenna length calculator
Quarter-wave and half-wave lengths for any frequency.
- Full wavelength
- 0.648 m
- Quarter-wave whip
- 0.51 ft (6.1 in)
- Half-wave dipole, total
- 1.01 ft (12.1 in)
These are starting lengths for a bare wire. Real antennas need a little trimming, and the ground plane or vehicle roof matters.
Power and decibel converter
Convert watts to dBm and dBW and see the change against a 5 watt handheld.
- In dBm
- 37.0 dBm
- In dBW
- 7.0 dBW
- Compared with 5 W
- 0.0 dB
Doubling power adds only 3 dB, about half an S-unit. Antenna and height usually beat extra watts.
