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 4-6 Km. In open spaces,
without obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the
coverage can be more than 12 Km.
