Limited talk range
Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease
range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission.
Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range.
Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can either
reduce obstructions, increase power, or use UHF radio instead of VHF radio.
UHF radios provide greater coverage in industrial and commercial buildings.
VHF is designed for outdoor or smaller or wood structures. Increasing power
provides greater signal range and increased penetration through obstructions.
Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” on page 29.
