TALK RANGE

XT Series radios have been designed to
maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. It is
recommended that you do no use the radios
closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid
interference. XT460 coverage is 16.250 square
meters, 13 floors and 9 km in flat areas.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It is affected
by concrete structures, heavy foliage and by
operating radios indoors or in vehicles. Optimal
range occurs in flat, open areas with up to 9
kilometers of coverage. Medium range occurs
when buildings and trees are in the way.
Signal Minimal range occurs when dense foliage and
Strength
