Power & ERP Calculator

Estimate system loss, EIRP, and ERP from transmitter power, antenna gain, and feedline losses.

Total System Loss
2.00 dB
EIRP
126 W
ERP
76.6 W

EIRP uses antenna gain in dBi; ERP ≈ EIRP / 1.64 (gain expressed as dBd). Estimates only — actual figures depend on antenna pattern, VSWR, and installation.

FCC compliance: GMRS limits vary by channel type — e.g. 50 W ERP on repeater channels (15–22) and 0.5 W on channels 8–14. These estimates do not confirm legal compliance. Always verify your effective power against current FCC GMRS rules before transmitting.
