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 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.
