Poor reception through wooded areas , and over hills. overall poor performance, will not work sometimes 1hundred yards in woods. advertise 26 miles! any help appreciated
Poor reception will be experienced in wooded areas and this is normal as the trees absorb RF energy. Range is dependant on conditions and terrain. Better range over water and open Country side, poor range in the middle of a built-up area. Low band better in hilly areas and UHF better in buildings. I have yet to find a pair of walkie talkies that will talk for 26 miles without a repeater.
