eXRS Frequently Asked Questions

What is eXRS?

What is the range of eXRS radios?
All UHF radios are effectively line-of-sight communications devices and under the same conditions, all portable UHF radios should perform about the same with respect to range, however that distance could range from a few blocks up to more than a hundred miles. eXRS radios will meet or exceed the usable range of other UHF portable radios (including FRS/GMRS) under the same conditions of use. If the GMRS (or FRS) gets 30 miles, so will the eXRS - if the GMRS (or FRS) gets only a few blocks, so will the eXRS. Realistically, under most conditions, typical range will be a few thousand feet to several miles, and possibly longer under more optimal line-of-sight conditions.

When using eXRS radios in and around buildings or other obstructions, range can vary greatly depending on the particular conditions. Generally, there would be no problem covering a large one or two story building such as a warehouse or retail store. Large multi-storied buildings can usually be covered due to the help of reflections out the side of the building and back in. eXRS radios have been verified as equivalent to other hand held UHF radios in high rise office buildings.
