COVERAGE/RANGE
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an open space.
The only limitations to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as blockage cau-
sed 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 space but with obstructions like trees, leaves or houses the maximum possible range
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.
