well, i would say it could scroll easily down a page from 8 feet away, but if you intend to use the cursor at that distance, it is going to be choppy at best. I use it from a distance of 6 feet occasionally with the receiver being in direct sight of the mouse and it chugs along happily

Well, I haven't used it outside but I use it in my living room and listen in the kitchen while I'm working. I really like it but as far as range ... it depends on how well you hear. It can be very loud... Im probably not much help but it is really loud.I have never maxed it out.

Elaine... did you end up trying this one? Or did you find one that had better range? I am looking for something that has good range.

Kind of impossible to say. Most quotes for range by manufacturers are theoretical based on max distance in a vacuum. If you are licensed to use this radio, you will understand its limitations based on the type of antenna and it's transmit power.For listening in, a dedicated scanner would be best. For transmitting, don't do it without a license!

Range seems pretty good.... I've had the monitor with me all over the house and outside and have never lost connection

It is decent at 30 to 40ft. Need a bigger IR for longer range. Try the bullet style for that

Daniel, I cannot find enough words to praise this unit. BTW, I also own an i.sound (very pleased with) and have tested the Jawbone one, at almost 4 times the price of the Sykik. The range is great - I run Pandora on the laptop (in the house) and bring this in the yard (weatherproof, too!) which is about 50-75 feet away. I think it is pretty good for bluetooth range. Please don't forget that the transmitting device plays a role - I have installed the ASUS bluetooth dongle on the laptop. I strongly recommend this unit. Great sound (I am an audiophile), 6-8+ hours of run time (I usually forget to turn it off, up to 24+ hours standby) and reasonably priced. It also comes with the USB charging cable AND a male-to-male jack with very thin plastic that fits my Google nexus 4 port. I have owned/used it for a couple of months now. I hope this helps you in your research.

The range is good. I would suspect that it would work. Example for me is communicating with my son who is about 150 yards (1.5 football fields) away and at times in friends homes and the sound is clear.

Range is good up to 30 feet in my house, and works through walls at that range as well. I read the complaints as well and found out that it was the first model they made that had range issues.

The range depends on obstructions such as buildings and trees. Consider it mostly line of sight. In town you can get a few blocks or more. In open country you might go over a mile or more. USA - license required. Range, pretty good for this type of 2-way radio. If you want better range get a HAM radio.

Sorry, I assumed it was what it said. How can we test. it. I get about a five mile range.

I have some really good range with it, how far do you need it though? When I'm 30 feet away with 2 walls, I still have 100% signal. It's better that its a larger adapter because it has a better antenna than some of the smaller ones.

I agree with Tyler. This is a piece of junk. All that mine is good for is a spotting scope at close range. The cross hairs won't move up, down or sideways. It starts to get fuzzy around 26 power. At 32 I can't make out the target at 100feet much less 500 feet. Don't get excited over the price. It's a wonder the price hasn't been lowered so the inventory will move faster.

I have never tried to get an exact range but I do know other reviewers said it doesn't hold a steady range. It also failed very soon after the warranty period.

The range is at least a few miles. I had a guy drive to a nearby store that was a few miles away, and he was able to stay in constant contact. Pretty impressive!

I would not trust it beyond 100 to max 150 yards. Appears that it gets a bit distorted. In my oppion I would keep it less than 100 yards. Mostly for safety reasons.
