How far can two way radios reach?

The range of a two way radio depends on several factors including transmission power, environment and whether the radio is licence free or licensed.

• Licence free (PMR446) radios typically cover up to 0.5–3 miles (5km) in open areas

• Licensed business radios with their higher power output can reach significantly further depending on terrain and system setup.

Urban environments, buildings, trees and hills will reduce effective range of any radio.
