5 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT ✔ Talk Range The IC-4088A is designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. However, the single most impor- tant factor in transmit range (talk power) is the surrounding envi- ronment. These radios are "line of sight" radios and as such, transmission range are influenced by the degree to which you can "see" the other communicating party. Large concrete structures and heavy foliage or transmission from inside a building or 5 vehicle will reduce the talk power range. • Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions. • Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of sight. • Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy foliage. 11

The IC-4088A is designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the
eld. However, the single most impor-
tant factor in transmit range (talk power) is the surrounding envi-
ronment. These radios are
line of sight
radios and as such,
transmission range are influenced by the degree to which you
can
see
the other communicating party. Large concrete struc-
tures and heavy foliage or transmission from inside a building or
vehicle will reduce the talk power range.
Optimal range: wide, open areas free of obstructions.
Medium range: large buildings or trees blocking your line of
sight.
Minimum range: mountainous areas or areas of heavy foliage.
