3.8 Range of the radios

The radios have a range of up to 3-5 km. This maximum
range can be reduced under certain circumstances. You can
achieve maximum range in open, flat conditions. If there are
buildings or trees in the signal path then the range will be
reduced. The range is even further reduced in hilly terrain.

3.9 Increasing the maximum range

The radios are equipped with a so-called Auto-Squelch
system, by means of which weak transmissions and
undesirable noises are automatically filtered out during use.
This Auto-Squelch system can be temporarily switched off in
order to increase the range.
Press and hold the AUTO-SQUELCH button on the left-hand
side. The automatic suppression will be switched off and it
will now be possible for even very weak signals to be
received. If the AUTO-SQUELCH button is kept pressed
until a signal tone sounds, the Auto-Squelch will be switched
off completely. To switch the Auto-Squelch on again, press
the AUTO-SQUELCH button once more.
