Is the range as described? I have large acreage and range is a big issue with me.

Yes, seems to be. I walk my dog at reservoir and I let him get quite far ahead of me and then if I need to get his attention I can use the vibrate and he will stop and come back towards me. Also , I can be in the house, and just aim the transmitter out the window and zap him if I see him misbehaveing. Works great.

You really have to have the antenna on the receiver in one of the holes on the collar. Thecollar is pretty think plastic and doesn't want to lay flat, so it's hard to make the afore mentioned happen. I got a thick rubber band and made it work. I have not tried it any farther than a city block, and the beeper works.

I really doubt that it would take in that range. But, I really can't help. For I'm only about 35 miles away and it's working fine.

I'm not sure what the range is. I live in Manhattan and though it mostly works ok it's not without need of adjustment. I was hoping to place it in a convenient spot and forget about it but I have to adjust it often. Living in Manhattan I would opt for a more expensive and hopefully more powerful antenna.

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

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 cannot answer that question, but will say I have been having more problems with mine besides the range. It seems devices that spend extended time in the area that is almost in range loose connectability when brought into range. Other devices move in and out of range with no issues. Sorry I could not help.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

I have some large shrubs/trees that I use it with. Works well in all of the positions. 1 acre is a lot, you'll have to probably recharge your battery pack or buy an extra one for all the work you'll do. Good luck, I love mine.

Shockingly very far away if you set the sensitivity all the way up. My home is 3000sqft and if I yell from upstairs it will respond... Not always correctly but you get the point.

I have the system set up for over 3 acres and I have had no issues thus far. The boundary does move a little, anywhere from 2 or 3 feet which is not a big deal for us. It works through wooded areas as well.

We're down in a valley, but have no problem getting stations 30 miles away, and FM 40 miles away. The antenna is very directional and needs a rotor for best performance. If we were on a hill we could get much farther.

I do not have any trouble with my reception but it may have to do with my location. The good news is that it comes with an antenna, though not a fantastic one. I receive a strong signal from my favorite radio station which is located over 60 miles away, if that helps.

Just got mine & used it twice last week. My 2nd setup was 127 YARDS per my range finder. No problems at all. Great little call.

I have 3.2 acres of property and my neighbor has 2.5 acres. I can contact my dog to return to me within that range. Up to about 5 acres.

Truly, I've not been able to get my new Amped Range extender to actually operate. I continue to have problems getting on line via the extender. This is the second one that I've tried to use. They sent this second unit when they pronounced my initial unit out of commish! I truly have not had the time to call and discuss the recent developments with the tech folks with Amped Wireless. Good Luck

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

Not sure about max range, I was using and getting hits in the 6-8 ft range. A lot of false positives though.
