OPERATIONAL HINTS
Your transceiver’s range varies depending on factors such as position, terrain, and battery condition. Range can best be described as line of sight. The fewer obstructions you have between two tranceivers, the better range you can expect. Buildings absorb transmitted signals and, if they contain metal, might completely block the signals. Trees and heavy cloud formations have a similar effect, though not as se- vere. If you are near a lake or the ocean, you might get excellent range.
To ensure maximum range, operate the transceiver with the battery pack fully charged. As the voltage de- creases, the range decreases.
