Range
•
Your microTALK
®
radio has a range of up to five (5) miles (8 km). 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
4 for details.
