PERFORMANCE

Your transceiver will achieve its maximum operating range when
communicating with other transmitter(s) in a flat open area with
no trees or buildings obstructing its signal. Range may be up to
two miles under such conditions. Obstacles such as buildings,
trees or mountains will tend to reduce the transceiver’s effective
range.
