of course terrain will limit the range but they go far enough to be in close contact.

we live in the country, having a gentle rolling terrain with scattered trees, and very few buildings.

over five miles in difficult urban terrain is possible, even from a basement!

this cobra set not only conveniently includes lith-ion batteries, but they are incredibly clear, even when separated by miles of snow terrain.

i wasn't expecting the max advertised range because of the terrain and trees obstructing line of sight.

with the power rating being the same the things that will affect range are antenna size, height of the transmitter, and terrain- usually things you will have little control over.

the maximum range on flat and unobstructed terrain was approximately 1 mile on high power.
