Simple answer ---
NO
They are ALL 5 watt units …. standard versions are toglle between 5W & 25W.
The handheld will carry a "reasonable" distance-- but for example - We are in Saunders Bay and it will not carry to Stonedam Isl (tried many a time) on the other hand, a handheld can "Hear" everything -- you just can't respond or acknowledge ….. which gets frustrating.
Yes, we have a handheld too, but use it for nearby boat to boat when we have friends visiting (loaner concept).
