The range of licence free radios is entirely dependant on where they are used and whether there are any obstructions like hills, buildings etc between the radios. All of the licence free radios we offer are capable of working over several miles providing there is a good line of sight between them but the range will be reduced by any obstructions. Some manufacturers do quote approximate ranges of 2, 3 or even 5km but these distances refer to ideal operating conditions and should be regarded as only a guide and cannot be guaranteed.
