Coverage

The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an open space.

The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as blockage caused by trees, buildings, or

other obstructions. Inside a car or a metallic construction, the range can be reduced. Normally the coverage in the city, with

buidings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions like trees, leafs or houses the

maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In open space, without obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the

coverage can be 10 Km.
