RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

✔ Talk Range
The IC-4088SR is designed to maximize performance and im-
prove transmission range in the field. However, the single most
important factor in transmit range (talk power) is the surrounding
environment. These radios are “line of sight” radios and as such,
transmission range are influenced by the degree to which you
can “see” the other communicating party. Large concrete struc-
tures and heavy foliage or transmission from inside a building or
vehicle will reduce the talk power range.
• Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions.
• Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of
sight.
• Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy foliage.
