 What is the range of a two-way radio?

simple question but a complicate answer… A portable or hand held radio will usually be able to communicate at least 1 kilometre. Distance is variable and dependent on both terrain and prevailing weather conditions. With a mobile of vehicle mounted unit, it us usually possible to communicate 2 to 7 kilometres, subject to the previous outlined variables. Incorporating a repeater into the system may extend the range to 15 kilometres, but a trunked system can communicate over much greater distances. Our staff will advise you on the best system to meet your individual requirements at time of consultation.
