How far is the longest distance a walkie-talkie can communicate?

2024-01-29

The communication distance of general walkie-talkies is within 2-3 kilometers, the communication distance of professional walkie-talkies is within 3-10 kilometers, the communication distance of commercial walkie-talkies is between 800 meters and 8 kilometers, and the distance of civilian walkie-talkies is shorter, with an open space of 3 kilometers. 

Special walkie-talkies can reach 10 kilometers.

1. Handheld walkie-talkie distance introduction:

7 watt transmission power: 2-4 kilometers in urban areas and 4-7 kilometers in open areas.

5W/4W transmitting power: 1-3 kilometers in urban areas, 3-5 kilometers in open areas.

3/2 watt transmitting power: 500m-2km in urban areas, 1-3km in open areas.

1/0.5 watt transmitting power: 200m-800m in urban areas/500m-1.5km in open areas.


2. Introduction to walkie-talkie distance:

Shortwave walkie-talkies have a very long distance and can communicate across provinces and even borders with the support of external environmental factors. The distance of cluster intercom is very long, and it can basically communicate with each other in the whole city.

After installing a repeater station, the intercom distance will be greatly increased. However, the use of these three walkie-talkies requires prerequisites.

It can be seen that there is currently no clear definition of the distance of walkie-talkies. Even if the talking distance is marked on many walkie-talkie products, it is still an ideal distance. Therefore, it is best for everyone to ask clearly when purchasing a walkie-talkie. If possible, it is recommended to try it out first. This is because the actual use environment of the walkie-talkie has a great influence on the distance of its communication.


3. Introduction to the influencing factors of walkie-talkie distance protocol

The communication environment plays a decisive role in the communication distance of the walkie-talkie, and the use distance of the walkie-talkie cannot be judged. But apart from external factors. For example, the usage environment and the technical indicators of the walkie-talkie itself are also very important, such as transmitting power, receiving sensitivity, whether the antenna is original, and whether the antenna is damaged, which will have a certain impact on the communication distance.
