re: “The FRS frequencies at a max of 1 watt.”
Out-of-date info.
New info:
After 18 May 2017, FRS radios are limited to 2 Watts on channel 1-7 and channels 15–22.[2] Previously, FRS radios were limited to 500 milliwatts.

Thanks. Our Baofengs only have 1, 5, and 8 watt options available using CHIRP. Low, medium, and high power.
