UV5R for Satellite Communications

[Lightspeed]

Hi Mc

this has been subject if heated debate on this forum.

expect 2 to 5 miles in normal conditions. Sometimes more, sometimes less. My first ever contact with one similar to th 5r was North Devon coast to Brecon Beacons....

if both boxes are up high with clear line of sight, you'll be able to make contact irrespective of distance. Thats why the satellites can be reached.
