RANGE

The range of your hand-held transceiver will vary depending on conditions. Factors such as antenna, terrain and battery charge all affect range. To insure maximum range, always keep fully charged batteries in the unit. As voltage decreases, it directly affects range. Though higher in initial cost than other types, Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries are recommended. They can be recharged hundreds of times.
