Range
Your range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.
Maximum range is line of site, from mountain / hilltop to
mountain/ hilltop. Flat open terrain will only give you 1 to
4.8 kilometers due to terrain and the curvature of the Earth.
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.
