Your FR1000 Series radios are designed to give you maximum range
under optimum conditions.
Optimum Conditions are:
• Over water
• Open rural areas without obstructions
• Flat areas where you can see the other person
To ensure you get maximum range:
• Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries - low batteries will
cause low power conditions
• Be sure you are on a GMRS channel - FRS channels are restricted
by the FCC to low power
• Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.
• Be sure to point the ANTENNA upward.
