Your FRS unit has a range of up to 2 miles. This
range can be decreased by certain atmospheric
and environmental conditions at the time of your
conversation.
Some conditions that affect range are:
•
Buildings
•
Dense trees or foliage
•
Hilly or mountainous terrain
The best range will be in flat, open terrain, without
obstructions. Using the MON (monitor) button to
override the automatic squelch will help extend the
range to the maximum limits.
Your range is also dependent on the battery
condition of the radio, the type of terrain where
you are located, and the strength of the signal
from the transmitting radio.
