Maximum Range
Reduced Range
Reduced Range
In flat, open country your radio will operate at maximum range.
Buildings and foliage in the path of the signal can reduce the range of the radio.
Dense foliage and hilly terrain will further reduce the range of the radio.
On FRS channels 8 through 14, your radio automatically switches to low power, which will limit the range the radio can communicate.
Remember, you can achieve maximum range by using maximum range extender. See page 7 for details.
