TALK RANGE

XTNi radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is recommended that you do not use the radios closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference.

Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating radios indoors or in vehicles.

Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas with up to 9 kilometres of coverage. Medium range occurs when buildings and trees are in the way. Minimal range occurs when dense foliage and mountains obstruct the communication path.

To establish a proper two-way communication, the channel, frequency, and interference eliminator codes must be the same on both radios. This depends on the stored profile that has been preprogrammed on the radio:
