Coverage/range
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use
in an open spaces.
The only limitations 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 buildings or other obstructions is about
1 or 2 Km. In open spaces but with obstructions like trees, leaves or houses the
maximum possible range is about 4-6Km. In open spaces,without obstructions
and insight,like for example in mountain,the coverage can be more than 12Km.
