Which radios for long ranges?
I'm looking for Motorola radios for hiking with the longest range and ease of use. However, the common sales platforms only ever show me ranges of 9, max. 10 km.
Which radios can manage more than 20/30, maybe even 100km?
Thank you for your time & answers!
The devices you can buy freely – they also have a technically restricted transmission power – so you have to live.
In some radio procedures, overranges are possible, but they do not work reliably (wedding, time of day etc.)
All that would have more transmission power naturally also needs more transmission energy and other devices and antennas. You’d have to be a radio amateur (to run them) and you’d have another equipment park.
The proposal with the phone is really not bad – is a completely different technique. As long as you’re not in a radio hole, you can also call China.
Thanks for the answer! So I’m limited to a maximum of 10km in the free-market space or are there still free-sale devices that create more?
Submission – transmission power
CB radio: AM (good for distance) and FM (good for clear language). Transmission power in each case 4W; for SSB operation 12W
Freenet and PMR: 0.5W
I would think about CB radio with SSB (that can’t be everyone). Problem (is logical): longer antennas because longer wavelength.
There are radios that control Freenet AND PMR.
I am not so ultra-deep on the subject – regardless of which I know the technique a bit. What is permissible at the moment (2024) would you have to explore yourself. Notes:
You can search on the Internet at these devices for the permissible transmission power.
Important: they must be admitted to GERMANY – otherwise you can get angry.
Have fun with it – was my hobby a long time ago.
Thank you, Norbert, that helped me.
Amateur radios on KW come to several huntert Km. FM Gerate can only be obtained with low range.
No one.
Just because of the earth curvature.
What gäb‘s in the range of up to 30km?
You can’t say that because it comes to circumstances (weathers etc.)
You can say that if you can see yourself (also with binoculars) then you can also spark.
By the way: without an amateur radio license you can only use PMR devices anyway.
Then it is necessary to take frequencies whose waves follow the earth curvature: long wave. However, this is nothing you can take on a hike.
And above all nothing you can do without a license.
Top, thanks for the answers!
Isn’t it easier to make calls today and have a power bank?
In the meantime, the networks are no longer so lonely.
Want to completely dispense with mobile phones in time. A little old school.
Then why Walki Talkis? They are much more unreliable because their signals are not conducted via satellites.
