What is the distance and range of the field for signal to pick up the noise?

It would vary from room to room, if you hang in on the wall vs set it on a table, and on the decibel level you have it set. I have not had a problem with it picking up from any of the rooms we have had it in. It can even pick up noise level from an adjacent room. We love it. I have even though about taking it in the van!

It does not screen out all unnecessary noises. However, it does not always pick up a really sudden,short unnecessary noise. If it seems to be catching all of those noises, you can either relocate the device and/or go up a notch on the sensitivity. You can also turn the sirens on/off if it gets annoying. We had to move it away from the doorway, as it was catching a lot of activity from the other room. It also goes from green to yellow and then to red. Which is why it allows for a sudden,short noise.

Yes. Just turn up the squelch to drown out the static and hit scan. It can pick up signal from quite far out.

Too far away then would be of practical use. If the noise bothers you then look for another solution. I like to hear it because it let's me know it is working.

I agree with the other comments. I tried it from 15 feet away in a quiet room and could hear the vibrate only. It wasn't loud but could certainly be discerned by a client in a setting with little or no background noise. Hope this helps.

To answer your question we have not tested that far of a range. The sound gets weaker and fuzzy from the backyard to the family room.

We are using high quality 75 ohm with a run of 53 feet. Reception of stations is excellent up to about 70 miles away. At that distance, reception is somewhat sensitive to interference from military and weather sources.

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)

Anywhere from 4 - 6 miles. If you want to talk further I would look into adding an amplifier. Hope this helps.

Yes it should be perfect for picking up signals from farther away. I used to use mine at the RV Park. It is basically just an amplified wireless antenna receiver.It comes with a driver CD, which I just checked and it has a MAC OS 10 driver.

It's not particularly loud. I would say you could hear voices clearly up to about 5 ft away, but after that it's hard to make out what is said. Music or sound is better. I used it for a RR crossing bell in the pocket of a Halloween costume and it was clear enough to tell what it was for 5-10 ft away.

yup if it is only as small as football field , I give you a tip set it on low output set the frequency to 87.3 so there is no signal crash with other local radio , and I use Coby CX90 radio as a receiver it works fine , hopefully it help.

Mine is probably 40-50 yards away. I'm sure it will do much more than that with the right placement of the receiver. It has always worked great

In order for the mic to be sensitive enough to pick up sounds at a distance, there is no avoiding background noise. This is very different than a mic that is kept close to your mouth, for example. Your best bet is to put in sound deadeners, like carpets and curtains, as it is the reflected sound that really increases the noise.

My experience has been that the signal begins to weaken at about 100'. Before I purchased this system, I called a tech rep at RCA to ask specific questions, one of which was the signal range. He told me it is designed to have up to 200 meters, which is around 600'! If you're using it at home, it should be plenty, but I use it at work, and am very displeased with the limited signal range.

Shockingly very far away if you set the sensitivity all the way up. My home is 3000sqft and if I yell from upstairs it will respond... Not always correctly but you get the point.

no pa system will work well in a noisy environment. distance from mike usually affects volume and/or any tinny effects

If you're asking if the mic can detect the voices of others, then yes. In a 5 foot radius, it should pick them up really well, further than that then less so, depends what other noise is in the atmosphere.
