1. Key Factors
-
Transmit Power
-
Civilian devices (0.5W-5W):
-
Urban areas: 1-3 km.
-
Open terrain: 3-8 km.
-
-
Professional/commercial devices (5W-50W):
-
Open terrain: 10-20 km (extendable with repeaters).
-
-
Note: High-power devices may require licenses under local radio regulations.
-
-
Frequency Band
-
UHF (400-470 MHz): Better penetration for cities/buildings, shorter range (1-5 km).
-
VHF (136-174 MHz): Better diffraction for rural/open areas, longer range (3-10 km).
-
-
Terrain & Environment
-
Open areas (plains, sea): 5-10+ km (unobstructed).
-
Urban areas: 1-3 km (blocked by buildings).
-
Mountains/forests: Reduced to hundreds of meters.
-
-
Antenna Performance
-
Height and gain significantly affect range. Vehicle-mounted or high-gain antennas boost distance.
-
Raising handheld devices (e.g., on a hilltop) can double the range.
-
-
Weather & Interference
-
Extreme weather (rain, fog) has minor impact. Major interference comes from electromagnetic sources (e.g., power lines, WiFi).
-
2. Typical Scenarios
| Scenario | Handheld (5W) | Vehicle/Repeater |
|---|---|---|
| Urban streets | 1-3 km | 3-5 km (vehicle antenna) |
| Suburbs/rural areas | 3-8 km | 10-15 km |
| Mountains (line-of-sight) | 5-10 km | 15-30 km (with repeaters) |
| Sea/open plains | 10+ km | 50+ km (repeater networks) |
3. Tips to Extend Range
-
Choose VHF for open areas and UHF for dense environments.
-
Elevate antennas (e.g., mount on rooftops or hills).
-
Avoid obstructions like buildings or terrain.
-
Use repeaters for professional setups.
-
Check device status: Ensure battery life and antenna connections.
