ABOUT RANGE

Your GXT781 radios are designed to give you maximum range under
optimum conditions.

Optimum Conditions are:  

l

Over water

l

Open rural areas without obstructions

l

Flat areas where you can see the other person

To ensure you get maximum range:

l

Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries - low batteries will 
cause low power conditions

l

Be sure you are on a GMRS channel - FRS channels are         
restricted by the FCC to low power

l

Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.
