Coverage/Range
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an
open space.
The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as
blockage caused by trees, buildings or other obstructions. Inside a car or a metallic
construction, the range can be reduced. Normally the coverage in the city, with bu-
ildings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions
like trees, leaves or houses the maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In open
space, without obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the coverage
can be more than 12 Km.
