Coverage/Range
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an
open space.
The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as
blockage caused by trees,buildings, or other obstructions. Inside a car or a metallic
constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally the coverage in the city, with
buildings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions like trees, leaves or houses the maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In
open space, without obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the
coverage can be more than 12 Km.
