Coverage/range

The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an open spaces.

The only limitations to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as blockage caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Inside a car or a metallic construction, the range can be reduced.

Normally the coverage in the city, with buildings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open spaces but with obstructions like trees, leaves or houses the maximum possible range is about 4-6Km. In open spaces,without obstructions and insight,like for example in mountain,the coverage can be more than 12Km.
