scramble code.
Limited talk range
Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, use in
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.
Heavy static or interference
Radios are too close, they must be at least five feet apart.
Radios are too far apart or obstacles interfering with
transmission.
