What are the frenqueny ranges for the transceiver?

The GMRS-50V2 can receive: 65-108MHz (includes the FM Broadcast bands), 136-174MHz (includes the NOAA Weather Channels), and 400-520MHz. It can transmit only on the GMRS Frequencies.

The gmrs-50x1 only transmitted on channels 1-20 even though there are slots available to program others. does this one also limit it to the first 20?

No, the GMRS-50V2 can transmit on all 256 channels as long as it is assigned a GMRS channel. It is not limited to only the first 20 channels.

How is it that the maximum range is exactly the same as the btech gmrs pro that has only 5 watts output and this has 10 times the power output?

My 50 Watt BTECH reaches a repeater clearly that is 65 miles away. I have reached a repeater 160 miles away, but could not talk to anyone. I also recommend getting a good antenna, I am using a TRAM 1486 which is about 30 feet up on my roof.

Why are all these companies so dishonest? 50 Watts means: 50 Watts!! Not 30, not 35, not 40 or 49. I would like a reply from the seller. Thank you.

Not the seller, but an owner. If you are talking about the GMRS-50V2, or even the UV50-X2, I have both, it is frequency related. On the normal GMRS channels 15-22, I get right at 57 watts. When I use the channel 22 repeater, which is at 467Mhz, I get just under 30. GMRS 1 - 7 are locked at low wattage. On my UV50-X2, I get near 60 watts in the VHF band, 48-55 in the lower UHF band, and near 40 in the upper UHF. It all relates to frequency and SWR's.
