Range
Your range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.
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 Channels 8 through 14, your radio automatically
switches to low power, which will limit the range the
radio can communicate.
