Operational Hints
Your transceiver’s range varies depend-
ing on factors such as position, terrain,
and battery condition. Buildings absorb
transmitted signals and, if they contain
metal, might completely block the sig-
nals. Trees and heavy cloud formations
have a similar effect, though not as se-
vere. If you are near a lake or the ocean,
you might get excellent range.
To ensure maximum range, operate the
transceiver with the battery pack fully
charged. As the voltage decreases, the
range decreases.
