What is the range with this system? We are planning on using it in an area with pretty mountainous terrain.

The range is extremely long. I used it in a landmark building in NYC and was able to go up 9 flights of stairs with decent reception and made a phone call. IT does have draw backs though as a phone with limited features, but the range makes up for it.

I have had them up to 300 yards from the base and they worked fine. We have hilly property, about 80 ft elevation difference at that distance.

The range is 25,000 sq ft, 10 acres, 6 floors of penetration in a building.

I am in the mountains, and the phone works better than expected. I can be down in a small canyon or behind many trees and it works well.

The range listed in the specs is266.7 yards. That's a little short of 300 yards. Mine works great through around 150 yards of wooded area. Depending on your terrain you MIGHT be able to reach 300 yards if it was clear line of sight and no trees or other obstructions in the way.

I returned my unit for a refund. The range of any radio will basically depend on the terrain in which you use it. Hilly/mountains etc. about a mile or less. Flat or low-rolling land about 1-3 miles. This radio just didn't perform as I had expected. I bvought a Midland unit which was three times better.

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!

The manufacturer states that the range is 150 feet. Mine is mounted about 100 feet away and works just fine.

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.

I live on top of a 3000 ft hill in the Calif . range is depended on height of antenna, terrain, and the ground plane effect...its not all antenna.

Under perfect conditions I have picked up towers close to 50 miles away. Very reliable for towers within 35 miles. Mine is mounted in a single story attic.

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

There are two settings, GMRS and VHF. We use ours on road trips and so forth too. I would test them out to the distance it can be used. On land doesn't reach as far due to slopes, hills, etc.

I do not know the range as the system did not work for me except when I did a test within the same room. When I went from the bedroom to the kitchen they did not work as the kitchen is not on the same circuit as the bedroom.

Hi: I'm using it in a suburb with the stations about 20-30 miles away and all I can say is that it works remakably well at these distances.Al

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

Yes, I'm not sure of range limit! I've done it from about 1.5 blocks ! I'd say it would probably be good up to 1/4 mile tops! But I can't verify that!

I've used it at over 300 feet. The distance is impressive. It works smoothly even at that distance.

2 miles or less...that is for any good radio in a mountainous obstructed terrain
