1.4 OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when
operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low
lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges,
inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can
severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can
also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some
improvement may be obtained by ensuring the antenna
is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or
moving to a higher elevation may also improve
communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with
the use of an externally mounted antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the
trouble-free operation of a portable radio. Always
properly charge the batteries.
1.4.1 Efficient Radio Operation
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving
or transmitting a message.
