Operation

Your FRS/GMRS unit has a range of up to 2 miles. This range can be decreased by certain atmospheric and environmental conditions at the time of your conversation.

Some conditions that affect range are:

Buildings

Dense trees or foliage

Hilly or mountainous terrain

The best range will be in flat, open terrain, without obstructions. Using the MON (monitor) button to override the automatic squelch will help extend the range to the maximum limits.

Your range is also dependent on the battery condition of the radio, the type of terrain where you are located, and the strength of the signal from the transmitting radio.
