Talk Range
Your radio has been designed to maximize
performance and improve transmission range in the
field. It is recommended that you do not use the radios
closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by
concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating
radios indoors or in vehicles.
Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas, with up to
6 kilometres of coverage. Medium range occurs when
buildings and trees are in the way. Minimal range
occurs when dense foliage and mountains obstruct the
communication path.

Monitoring Channel Activity
It is good radio etiquette to monitor the channel for
activity before you transmit, to ensure that you do not
interrupt other users already on the channel.
Pressing and holding allows you to monitor your
J
channel for activity. If you hear static, the channel is
clear for use. Obstacles that block the signal path may
affect the strength of the incoming signal.
