OPERATIONAL HINTS
Your transceiver’s range varies depending on factors
such as position, terrain, and battery condition.
Range can best be described as
line of sight . The
fewer obstructions you have between two tranceivers,
the better range you can expect. Buildings absorb
transmitted signals and, if they contain metal, might
completely block the signals. Trees and heavy cloud
formations have a similar effect, though not as se-
vere. If you are near a lake or the ocean, you might
get excellent range.
To ensure maximum range, operate the transceiver
with the battery pack fully charged. As the voltage de-
creases, the range decreases.
