What's an average range for a handheld CB?

[fordbroncodave]

@StreamingKnowledge elevation and surroundings have a large role in transmit range. you could transmit 10 miles in line of sight or accross the united states when skip is present.

@sparky42 i know. they know they aren't right too because fcc laws and they can't state things that are illegal

@meangreen69Nova Range greatly depends on various situations. When I was about 15 years old in 1970 I had my Lafayette HE-90 hooked up to a large television antenna in my attic. After about 9pm I was sending and recieving a lot further than 2 miles. I was doing about 5 to 10 miles. The later at night the better

@Delivered0ne Whaaaattt? Where did you hear this?

[Delivered0ne]

@meangreen69Nova Not so(!) now that Cheshire has brought out their new 1.5w pep SSB Walkie/Talkie which uses a separate 3.6v Lithium Ion battery for frequency stability & a loaded 1/4 wave antenna, the range from W/T to W/T has increased to 10 miles in town, 25 miles over water, 100 miles from mountain top to mountain top, or a more real world average of 20 miles from Walkie/Talkie to a decent SSB base station, & the usable battery life at 1.5w pep, 35% transmit time is 7 hours!
