Per Pair. ---- Enhancing Range --- Things to do to improve your two-way radio range: Elevate your radio – the higher your radio the more likely you will transmit over terrain and obstructions, therefore move up hill or use your headset and hold the radio above your body. Use a hill as a reflector – stand on the side of the hill facing the direction you wish to talk to. Standing slightly below the top of the hill in the correct direction will enhance the signal away from the hill. Move outside metal structures – get out of your car or building they block and therefore contain your radio signal. Note that many glass tinting materials contain metal and therefore block radio waves. Reflect your signal – stand in front of metal objects such as your car, it can act as a kind of collector for radio signals. Choose an unused channel – the Motorola Talkabout® two-way radios provide a “mon” (monitor) button to determine if others are using the channel. The interference eliminator (CTCSS and CDCSS) settings will “hide” the other signals from your receiver, but the monitor function will temporarily override the interference eliminator function, revealing all channel users. If you attempt to use a channel when someone else is, regardless of any interference eliminator settings, neither you nor your group will have the best range, as you will be talking over each other. Keep your batteries fresh
