You are correct on all of your statements, especially on the above. I 
have seen some mobiles that are set up for 5 repeats, or hops as I call 
them. One that I know of is using a 30 watt transmitter sending the 
signal from a tinytrack. My wife's car uses a TT3, with a Kenwood set at 
1 to 2 watts out. She usually gets clobbered by the high power stuff. I 
run 5 watts, but only because the radio I am using won't go lower than 
that. I still get covered up in town.
