I need to go about 1.1 miles across a city. Its near line of sight (one side has raised ant. mast, other does not). Any hope it'll work at that range

No it will not work. If it has a true line of site it will work, but near line of site will not.

Don't know if you will get a mile out of this. Also depends on if anyone around you has WIFI and will disrupt the signal. Take a look at using WIFI point to point antennas on the access points for better range. Ive gotten 2-3 miles with access points and 2 point to point antennas in a country outdoors setting.

No, Max renge I have gotten out of mine is 200 feet. I would recommend another model

I'm sure this won't the answer you're looking for, but I've been as far away as about 6' ft and it worked. I've never tested to see how far away it works, though.

I receive good signal from 45 miles away, my height is 25 feet above ground and have some obstruction in the distance. I use a preamp and the signal is clear.

Line of sight seems to help this device. Some seem to have varied results. I'd say I can go 50' or so without breakup. As it gets out of range it continues to broadcast but with interruption and disruption. It's a great device.

I'm not sure if it's gonna work... On my house, I have the main station on the first floor, and the extender on the second floor. With that, I can go about 100ft on the street before losing it. I don't think it would work with 300ft.

I've tried at a distance of 200m. Since the day I bought, i have used many times without problem of loss of signal at any time

I was able/unable to hit the local 2meter repeater 12 miles away. After I bought this antenna I was able to talk on it. Not 100% all the time, but well worth the money..

This is a directional antenna. You need to have a window with southern exposure and you need a clear site toward tower with no buildings or huge trees in line with the tower. If you have an eastern or western window and can point the antenna in a southerly direction, it may work. With my application I was able to pick up stations 25-30 miles away but had no obstructions and was able to aim antenna directly at towers.

The range depends on obstructions such as buildings and trees. Consider it mostly line of sight. In town you can get a few blocks or more. In open country you might go over a mile or more. USA - license required. Range, pretty good for this type of 2-way radio. If you want better range get a HAM radio.

Maybe, may not. It depends on lots of factors, many to do with your antennas and configuration. Line of sight should be much farther, but a poor antenna might not even go 30 meters. Good luck.

70 miles is a long way but it is worth the try. You may need to go to an outdoor antenna or amplified one.

I'm sorry I can't answer that, but the stations I'm using it for are 80 miles from here, A friend says he gets some Chicago stations that's about 125 miles as the crow flies. I'm pleased with mine, so is he.

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

I've been outside & up to 30-40 ft away and had it work fine. Good product.

I have had 2 different sets, both midland, both over "advertised" 20 mile ranges and we have gotten just about 2 miles. Wife/son at home, me in car to work. So no straight lines, no line of sight, etc. This is in traffic, in the city. It is a gimmick. Now, maybe if you buy a license to use one of the regulated channels... maybe there you can get further, I don't know. We don't use those channels. I don't want any officers showing up at my door! So, experience says... 1 - 2 miles, TOPS.

50 miles fringe at best my be better off with some type of directional beam.if you're talking later at night when the Skip dies down it'll probably make the trip.fifty miles is a long way even with an amplifier which is illegal on 11 meters

I have an identical situation and it works very well at least 200 feet away. Hope this helps.
