When used for bike to bike communications, what is the maximum distance that the unit will work.

In the country usually between a half mile and a mile it will start indicating that either riders A or B have disconnected. Other than that they work well when riding close with other riders using the Scala Rider headsets. The Bluetooth feature works well for making phone calls and the FM radio works great too. I love mine!!!!

Based on my experience normally 1-1.5 miles maximum, specs says 3 but never got that far... BR

About a mile. Pretty much line of sight. Used them last month in CO with two of my Buddies. Worked great. Clear as a bell. Exceeded my expectations.TRUBRIT

It gives about 100-150 feet of crystal clear conversation in a straight line on the freeway

I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away! That being said, don't expect it to work that far. It puts out a strong signal and is visible hundreds of feet away. A smart phone just doesn't have the power to get signal TO the EnGenius. I know of an island in Maine 2 miles offshore with an EnGenius at each end pointed at each other. I choose this model because my IT guy at work recommended. After being a heavy PC user since DOS 3.1, I recently switched to MAC. Best thing I ever did. IT friend remotely talked me through configuration it in lees than 15 minutes I have successfully used it over 300'. When setting up, it found dozens of Wi-Fi signals over 1/2 mile away!

I have used it up to about 15 ft as long as the receiver was pointed at the transmitter, the receiver is under the hood of my car so the signal is blocked some what.

I have one of these deployed in an outdoor environment. Good strong signal in buildings up to 1500 feet away. One key note. Unless your trying to reach more than a km don't turn the distance setting up. That only changes timeout settings.

If the question is how far two radios can be to still communicate it would depend on terrain and weather (lesser). Clearly the 36 miles claimed might only be direct line of sight, like between two high mountains, the curvature of the Earth would not permit it even over water. The signal does bounce around, which both reduces its ultimate range but then helps overcome shorter range communication where line of sight is not present. Based on my experience with it expect a couple of miles range, less if in hilly woods that are wet.Value for price is still good, and I recommend them unless you need long range communications. If so use cellular if available, or satellite if not. If the question is how far two radios can be to still communicate it would depend on terrain and weather (lesser).

I have not used that one but using channel master I am getting signals as far as 70 or more miles with also using signal amp. hope this helps.

I use my Puxing radio in a location that is mountainous and heavily wooded. At times I have a range of about 5- 10miles. So, the range is dependent upon the terrain.

Concur with previous replies. I add that terrain and ground obstructions effect the propagation of HF, line-of-site (& to a limited degree, ground wave) signal. The best answer may be 'experiment and find out'. Some days will be great, others may be a bust at this (50 miles) distance. The MAX 2000 is an stupendous omni-directional antenna. If the communication you seek is mainly 50 miles away in the same general area, you might consider a beam antenna (2-3 element Yagi.) The other options? GMRS base radios (UHF) or Amateur Radio - 2m and above, HF 160, 80m.

Richard,I am pleased with the unit and can pick up signal approx 50 metres away. Live in a 3 bedroom unit and never have a problemGood luck

Juan...>I do not know of a distance limitation between the transmitter and receiver....the unit works very well....Jim

My longest distance is about 30 feet, have a refrigerator between the send and receive units , you would need to check the specs or other reviews.

About 15 feet. A quick tip: turning the bluetooth receiver around in the direction of device its paired with, especially when close to 15 feet, helps with the signal.

We have this unit in our house for communication from upstairs to down. We have had no problems with it at all but I donot know about the 60 ft. distance at all. Hope this helps.

This will work fine for mountain biking. A cell signal is not required - the GPS signal comes from satellites, not cell towers.

Hi David,I'm not sure what the 'maximum' range on this is, but I can get mine to work fine from approx. 30ft from my Macbook Retina.Hope this helps,Douglas

On the setup I have, transmitter and receiver are separated by approximately 17 feet with a wall of concrete in the middle and both image and sound work perfectly with no issues at all...I have no idea if it can reach the distance you need - it seems too far as they are not designed for long distances...hope my comment helps.

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.
