■ Introduction
■ Lightning
■ Utility software and instructions
Any person is not safe outdoor during thunderstorm and lightning.
This condition is getting worse if somebody keeps a hand-held radio;
chances of being hit by lightning are doubled since lightning may hit a
radio antenna as well. At this time, there is no hand-held radio having
any kind of protection against lightning current (which is higher
than10 kA.). Note also that no car provides adequate protection of its
passengers or drivers against lightning as well. Therefore, Alinco will
not take responsibility for any danger associated with using its
hand-held radios outdoor or inside the car during lightning.
■ Covering ranges
(without using repeaters)
You may expect a range of approx.4km/2.5 miles or more at
high-power when located on a flat, noise-free place like on a beach.
However, it may vary depending on how to wear and carry the radios,
surrounding locations/conditions and static noise levels, etc. In urban
areas with many buildings or inside a building, such covering range
may become drastically short.
