ABOUT RANGE
Your radios are designed to give you maximum range
under optimum conditions. (See Figure 3)
OPTIMUM CONDITIONS ARE:
• Over water
• Open rural areas without obstructions
• Flat areas where you can see the other person
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM RANGE:
• Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries – low
batteries will cause low power conditions.
• Be sure you are on a GMRS channel – FRS channels
are restricted by the FCC to low power.
• Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.
