How far will repeater transmit to components?
1886228
We have everything in a cabinet and the transmitter under a shelf above. Works fine.

I extended it 80 ft, but your going to need cable connectors tools and knowledge of soldering to extend the or receiver wire

Normally the IR Bug is attached directly to the IR window of the component you are attempting to control. But we have used these in cabinets on the back of the doors facing equipment racks and they will work from several feet. I have not tried to use for more distance than that but it may work. Hope this helps.

I don't know the range, our farthest unit is about 200 feet from the receiver. It does not interfere with. nor is interfered by cable television or Internet. I have found it to be a very good product.

About five miles simplex and with the stock antenna ,and to most repeaters I my area about 20 miles with a readable signal . But this is typically the case with all vhf uhf transcivers with 1 to 5 watts for its size its simply amazing it can do this .

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

Bought them for my husband for Christmas, can't get more than 1/2 mile in town. Haven't tried in the country with no interference. Apparently u need something called a repeater and don't know how to accomplish this.

Hi Tim, I would say on 4W of power at least 3 to 5miles. If you are in repeater range then you will most likely broadcast from 25 to 60 or so miles depending ppm repeater power. I still am testing for ham certification, but purchased my gmrs license anyway for practice....Karl

There certainly is no one-mile limit. I hit repeaters several miles away from my basement, and further if I take the HT upstairs.

It all depends on the repeater and location, it is also possible to buy a better antenna for the unit (need an adaptor) - I am able to hit a mountain repeaters 20+ miles away so terrain is more important in this instance. UHF and VHF seem to both work reasonably well - a lot of radio for a few $$ - I find I'm using it more than my expensive Kenwood or Yaseu do to low cost and small size - no biggy if I drop it or it gets stolen - be sure and get the programming cable to make life much easier - 73 KC0OH

I have been able to work 2-meter repeaters 45 miles away with a telescopic antenna. It depends upon the terrain of course.

It is a standalone repeater. It just needs a good signal to work with. I think Amped recommends over 75% strength for maximum results. So it must be placed close enough to get that good signal. Mine is about 75 feet and two rooms away.

Hi Connie. That's not going to happenBaofengs only put out about 4 1/2 wattsThe only way your going to talk to your friends is thru a repeater. Simplex is onlyGood for about 5 to 6 miles. Hope this helped you. I have four of them and been a ham for 27 yrsHave fun

A repeater such as this would work, but if you do not require a repeater to be mounted outside, you're may be overpaying. Thirty feet is not a great distance for a wifi router. Perhaps locating the router higher in your brothers house would be helpful in increasing the signal strength to yours. This Hawking exterior repeater is very good, but is meant to be used outdoors and you pay for that feature.

Its going to depend on the environment. I'm at about 80' with the lynx in a wood framed house, device on a metal gate. If you ever have trouble with distance, you can always add on a repeater.

It depends on the density and material of the wall, but I would say yes about 10 to 20%. If you want extreme signal range you can try an Amped Wireless repeater. Because of these antennae my parents can get a 2 to 3 bar signal outside their house 450 feet away. I installed the amped wireless repeater in their house and their speeds match mine with no real change in dropped packets. Mount your router about 4 foot off the ground, I got a cheap $15 wall shelf at. Walmart. Good luck hope this helps!

That is a hard question to answer because of the number of things that affect transmitter range. First, because of the frequency it is a line of sight transmitter meaning that the maximum range under ideal conditions is no more that 25 to 30 miles. Second, the location of the transmitter can affect the range, the higher the unit the further it transmits. Third, what is between you and the receiving unit can affect the range. Normally, in a city environment you may only get a block or two because of the buildings, but in the country you may get 5 or more miles. The greatest distance is on the water, here you may get the maximum range of about 25 to 30 miles. It is difficult to know the exact range you would get without knowing how it will be used. Remember that the GMRS frequencies transmit 5 watts and the FMS frequencies only transmit one watt or less and that also affects the range.

Cannot answer precisely as I am in a small townhome with no distance from router exceeding about 20'ft.

This is not a Bluetooth connection. RF distance is determined by the transmitters output. The assigned frequency would be determined by the FCC and that frequency would have a range. So only the manufacture could tell you what the max distance could be. I know that many RF devices around the home will reach up to 200' or more. Plus there are boosters available. I know with some brands of trailer Tire Pressure Spenser systems some require a booster to send signal from the wheel to the display on the dash.
