Would these units work in urban areas with small mountains in between? The required distance is about 6 miles.

The mountains would probably stop you. Best to call the company and check with them.

I'm in a small city, about 40,000 or so in eastern NC. Within the city limits from inside my home to someone driving I can get about a mile or so range out of them. Not sure if you change the landscape, terrain and geographical location.....

Dont see why not. We have used ours three times since the purchase and has worked great. We are At least 10 miles through dense forest to nearest tower.

It depends, we attached ours to an external antenna and plugged into our car accessory plug and could communicate up to about 5 miles on flat terrain and a couple of miles in the mountains. With the antenna that is included with the radio you might get a mile, this last estimate is based on the feedback on the reviews of the radio (check out the Radio Shack site).

In my experience, it depends on quite a few things. Atmospheric conditions, large bldgs/towers/hills, etc. can have a detrimental effect on antenna effectiveness. Also make sure to mount as high as possible on your vehicle. With perfect conditions (flat land, no towers, obstructions, etc., high mount, decent cb radio, good weather) these antennas will work for miles. I've never thought to measure how far but I'd think at least 2-3 miles.

I've had it about 6-8 feet away and it seemed ok. I think it would work further away.

I can only offer some real world experience, I have 3 of these, In an office building it works fine for about 100 feet then starts to drop off at 150 though walls it does not work well. I found a second unit 100 feet away is a good solution. In open air 350 feet work fine. You have a power setting and you can turn it up. You also have a range setting and it goes up to Kilometers, This issue is there is a compromise of the speed and bandwidth as you turn this up. So I am sure it will work at 2,500 meters but you wont be getting 100MB though put.

Have you ever hooked these up before. Not sure if you are intermediate or not. I have nanostation m5 and it works 2.2 miles with a fairly clear line of sight. It will work I know twice that far. So if you have a clear line of sight at 3 miles it should work.

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.

Wish I could answer that for sure. I know this works better than any other unit I have bought and my mailbox is over 100' away, but, I do believe you cannot have big obstructions, such as a hill so not sure about buildings. You would not have direct line of sight? That might be questionable then unless you wanted to mount it outside.
2252127
Yes, you can extend your network between buildings with the M5. Miles, my setup is a short haul at 0.6 of a mile, but if you have line of site believe the specs.

1-1 1/2 miles in urban environment, 2 miles suburban, 3-5 miles open countryside. Make sure to mount the antenna just a little above the roof line of any surrounding buildings to achieve best range

Unfortunately it's range is only a few inches. You need some sort of GPS locator.

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.
1850825
Depends on distance. A single unit will go far, but 2 units will go further.

If there is gps coverage it will work. Range depending on terrain and cloud coverage. Clear line of sight 2 miles dense undercover something under a mile.

11km may be a bit optimistic, unless you are elevated more than 10 stories and have line of sight with no terrain or weather issues, I would say up to 5 km yes but further you may struggle to get good signal strength.
