what is the range of the radios?
1135179
Without interference I would say about the length of a foot ball field. Walls and other wireless interference cuts it down drastically. Line of sight is important also.

I have not tested the distance of these radios as of yet. The furthest apart has been about a mile so far.

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.

I bought this radio set for my friend. I'm sorry , I couldn't answer your question.

Not sure with the range, but you can fly as far as you can see your plane. I never loose signal with this receiver before.

I had my wireless unit about 300 feet (100 yards) from the base but the reception started to get 'spotty.' I would say that 200 - 250 feet would be a good maximum range.

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

The range on these is supposed to be up to 250,000 square feet. They say that if it is going to be used mostly outdoors with little obstructions, go with the VHF model (RDV2020). But if it will be used outdoor & indoor, you are best to go with this radio. I've used mine indoor and outdoor, and a combination of the two. It's a great, durable radio.

I have not been able to check that kind of distance but I can tell you the previous version of this radio that I purchased years ago got out to about 7 miles pretty clear. So I would venture to guess, depending on atmospheric conditions, elevation etc, it should get fairly close.

I maintain around 40 of these radios. They seem to be good for that distance outside with minimal obstruction. But once you have them in a building or a car the range is reduced. I think you would have better performance with the Baofeng BF-A5 model. It has more than twice the output power of the BF-666. I have been able to find the BF-A5 for around $30 on Amazon and Ebay.

I have got off my bike and walk 10 feet away and I still hear the music. I have never tested it for range, like a 2 way radio, but it easily covers an area within 10 feet.

Sorry, I don't have the means to answer your question. So far, testing with several others who have the same radio and on low-power (1 watt), we've achieved about a 2-mile range through trees and houses using the 14.5 inch antenna on one and the 7-inch on the other.

Hello, I can't give you a precise distance, but the range is very short. In my apartment it would not work from my babie's room to mine (about 60 ft/20 meters). I had to buy a different one from Motorola that had a longer range.

Farthest we have used them so far have been 4 blocks in Santa Monica...super clear reception. Good radios for the money.

Best I've ever gotten was about 150 feet in open space but that's still better range than most speakers. Motorola has years of experience making radios so it's no surprise that their speaker has such a long range. They're not telling how but in that department they really know what they're doing.

Where I live I use the vacant channel 88.7FM. I measured...from transmitter to pocket radio I got good reception from8 to 12 feet. Beyond that I got static. CCrane has a list of vacant FM channels for a person's area. Hope this helps.

The range of the handset to the base is at least 1/4 mile. We use them at the barn and the base is in the house. No setup for the intercom - just push the button on the handset or base. Same goes for finding a lost handset - which REALLY comes in handy!
