OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition are important when

operating a two-way radio. Operating the radio in low
terrain areas, under power lines or bridges, inside of a
vehicle, or inside a metal- or steel-framed building can
severely reduce the operating range of the unit.
Mountains and buildings can also reduce the range of
the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor,

some improvement may be obtained by insuring that the
antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in one direction
or another or moving to a higher elevation may also
improve communication.
