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 ran-
ge 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.
Warnings
Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio's precision mechanics and
electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason,
the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been ca-
librated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver
will void the warranty.
