With line of sight in the open, how far can the pair work? Up to 700 yards? Will the units take external antennas to extend the wireless signal range

The farthest I tested these were 8/10th of a mile or 1,408 yards and the signal was good and I'm sure they will go farther. I don't know of any external antennas you can add to extend the signal range. I use these for long range target shooting and I'm more than happy with these units. I hope this help you with your buying decision.

I would say yes. While it will transmit 600 feet (maybe I'm guessing) your device might not transmit back that far. The problem is your devices. An iPad might "hear" the ap that far away but it isn't strong enough to transmit that far. With a portable device or standard laptop I have seen maybe 200-250 feet in open air. You will need 2 to make a wireless link between each other then put another ap in the barn that your devices would connect to.

it all depends on the strenght of the incoming signal. It could go as far as 3 miles in line of sight.

I have mine located next to my router on the 1st floor of our 2-story house. I have Sirius Wi-Fi radios located both outside in the back yard, about 15 yards from the unit, and upstairs in the Master Bedroom, about the same distance from the unit, and with floors and walls in between. Both get "very good" signal strength. I also have 2 Wi-Fi "smart" Blu Ray players located within that same range (15 yards), and they work perfectly too. I believe I could get a good signal at ranges of up to 75 feet. So far, not a single problem.

I think 40-50 yards might be pushing it for a decent signal. The website lists it for a large home, which I agree, it works great all through our house and outside the perimeter but it gets really weak as I'm pulling out of our short driveway. It's a great router, I highly recommend it but it might not fit your distance needs.

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

Range is dependent somewhat on antenna placement. My transmitter & antenna is at the 7-foot height in the house on a planter ledge above my media closet. The wireless speaker works fine outside up to 60-feet from the transmitter without any loss in volume. Between 60-100 feet the volume gradually diminishes; but the signal is still received. Beyond 100 feet the signal is lost.

Hmmmmmmm, tough one . I've never had to use it for that distance. I connected to an AP that was about 300 Yards away, thru trees and homes.

I have three units. Two of them are in the house, the 3rd in my office above a detached garage. Two most distant unit are about 150' apart ... works great for two/three way communication.

Yes, it is very misleading. Radio frequencies work best on line of sight, so as long as there is nothing blocking such as buildings or high hills, 30 miles is quite possible if you have the elevation and no interference from buildings or other obstructions. Buyer beware.Regards Brian

We are using high quality 75 ohm with a run of 53 feet. Reception of stations is excellent up to about 70 miles away. At that distance, reception is somewhat sensitive to interference from military and weather sources.

This is a small device with a short antenna. It wouldn't pick up a station 50 miles away. Like any radio it would need an elevated external antenna to receive distant stations and there is no provision for attaching such to this device.

It is very simple. Just like setting up a wireless router. 50-60 ft should be no problem as long as there are no obstruction. With clear line of sight you can cover 150-200 ft. Hope this helps

In testing the unit in the field with a 15" laptop and Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone, we have received a usable signal (stronger than -80dBi) line-of-site range of about 800 foot radius. We have deployed units indoors, usable signal through four drywall walls was about 200 foot radius.

I would not recommend going wireless for this distance with all that metal in the line of sight. Tried on shorter rig and kept losing the signal.

u can, but u need to get the programming software which can run u about an $40. i had 3 of them and they work fine within city obstructions about 2 miles before they start breaking up. Open range should garner more. I suggest dont pay more than $65 for each radio and if u need better range just out of the box, replace the antennas with an aftermarket reputable dealer. From my understanding its not repeater friendly and has enough ctcss and dcs codes to be interference free.

Depends wireless router, i have just a wirless g and works at 70 yards away.i
