There are too many variables to authoritatively answer any questions about the range your installation will get. It seems to be the best short antenna out there. Set it up (for SWR) according to the directions and vary the mount position and you will get the best range available with anything other than a permanent mount 8' whip!

Will it go the distance? That is a very good question. It really depends on your application. If you are using a typical 4 watt radio then how much distance can you really expect anyway? There are a lot of factors that determine how far a radio will talk. When the skip is really rolling it makes it difficult to talk any meaningful distance. However, the next thing you know some guy in Mexico is trying to talk to you. As far as the antenna its self goes, I found that the ease of installation and portability made it a viable contender for what I needed at work. Using a cigarette lighter plug for a power supply I could move from vehicle to vehicle in less than 5 minutes and be talking away. The only real issue I had with the Little Wil was I could not get the SWRs down to an acceptable level. I finally returned it and mounted a 4' Firefly on a 5" magnet mount I picked up at a truck stop. I had my radio worked on and it seems to operate much better. The SWRs were a breeze to get right. Under no skip conditions (early morning) I can talk to my fellow employees 20 miles away. In this do it yourself and save world we live in it is difficult at best to gain enough information to make a good decision concerning what is the best for you. If you are new to using CBs it might be a good idea to consult a CB shop or quiz some of the on line retailers like CB World to help you decide what will be best for your application. I do know about five guys that run this antenna and they seem to like it OK. All in all, if you can get the SWRs in line with this antenna I would say that it would be OK for running down the highway. Hope this helps.

This depends on the antena and your vehicle or location being high on the terrain. I have easily talked 5 miles, and in some situations (atmospher being good) talked skip over 500 miles from the mountain tops of West Virginia.

I haven't tried that distance but based upon my experience with the device I would expect that 80 feet would NOT work.

Depends how far it is to home...lol..a short distance is ok...hope this helps

I believe it will work because it is not like a radio wave. It works by traveling over the house wires and it should travel the sixty feet ok.

Yes, it will do that as long as the unit is not too far away from the base unit!

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

Depends on your tuner. I'm picking up channels from 3 different areas with the farthest 70 miles away.

Sorry I don't know if it will work from that distance. I purchased 2 of them for my recumbent trike and I've had no issues. Works like advertised.

I'd love to know that, also! I'd really like to buy this, but I need to make sure it's going to fit where it needs to go...

It will go farther than you can see it. Line of sight....I've had mine up almost out of sight and still had control of it.

You can set the distance that it will activate. You use a button & just turn it for closer or farther activation.

Hi Joe, It can reach a good distance if the house lights are dim. If not maybe a 30-35ft radius. Has lots of colors & modes. Hope that helps you.

I'm sorry I can not answer your question because this item did not reach the final destination address

Well yes, but I could only get about 30 feet away. And I couldn't step a foot either direction it stopped working. Hope that helped.

Yes, it will go. Just make sure u charge it regularly. When battery is low it might not go over grass/rough Terrain well.

Not long enough. If you need to reach long distance this will not work. The unit falls over or you need to hold it. Over all it is a great machine. I would buy another one.

Yes it does and it works very well. There is , of course ,a distance limit.
