Operational Hints
Your transceiver’s range varies de-
pending on factors such as position,
terrain, and battery condition. Build-
ings absorb transmitted signals and,
if they contain metal, might com-
pletely block them. Trees and heavy
cloud formations have a similar ef-
fect, though not as severe. If you
are near a lake or the ocean, you
might get excellent range.
To ensure maximum range, operate
the transceiver with the battery pack
fully charged. As the voltage de-
creases, the range decreases.
