microTALK Range

Your range will vary depending on 
terrain and conditions. 

In flat, open country your radio will 
operate at maximum range. 

Buildings and foliage in the path of the 
signal can reduce the range of the radio.

Dense foliage and hilly terrain will 
further reduce the range of the radio.

On FRS channels 8 through 14, your radio
automatically switches to low power, which
will limit the range the radio can communicate.

Remember, you can achieve maximum
range by using maximum range extender.
See page 6 for details.
