What is the range of the Mountain Radio?Updated 2 months ago

The Mountain Radio transmits the maximum power legally allowed for use without a license (2 watts). The maximum line-of-sight range is over 35 miles, however, 1 to 5 miles is more typical in backcountry terrain. Watch our range testing here.

The toughest environments for radio communication are cities and urban centers, where large buildings block the signal and the air is filled with other radio waves. In these environments, expect to get up to 1 mile of range. All distances listed on our product page are tested using High Power mode (2 watts). Low Power mode (0.5 watts) will slightly reduce maximum range, but increase battery life.
