tI' Talk Range

The IC-4008A is designed to maximize performance

and im-

prove transmission

range in the field.

However, the single

most important

factor in transmit

range (talk power) is your

surrounding

environment.

These radios are "line of sight" ra-

dios and as such, transmission

range is influenced by the de-

gree to which you can "see" the other communicating

party.

Large concrete structures

and heavy foliage or transmission

from inside a building or vehicle will reduce your talk power.

. Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions. (up to

2 miles)

. Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of

sight.

. Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy fo-

liage.

RING FUNCTION

The ring function has an answer back feature. This allows you to
confirm whether or not a call has reached the receiving party even

if the operator is temporarily away from the transceiver. (This func-

tion available between IC-4008As only.)

CDSet the same group channel number for

all of your group transceivers. (See left.)
