OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radios
and should be avoided whenever possible:
• Operating the radio in areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or
bridges.
• Obstructions such as mountains and buildings.
• In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement
may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few
yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also
improve communication.
