how far away can the radios be apart while still working?

I had them in Wal-Mart, kids we're in toy section and I was all the way across the store buying groceries. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity, especially being in that type of store w/ all the possible interference.

I have only used them about a mile away in an all single home area and they worked well and it was quite clear sending and receiving

These work on the Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies and are limited to .5 watts output power. One mile range is probably GREATLY exaggerated. I'd guess you might be able to get 1/3 - 1/2 mile, line-of-sight, under the BEST circumstances.

I have my speakers separated by about four feet from player. That's the limit of the wires.

Havent really looked since i purchased them... but it would depend on your elecrical source and where you are placing them. i have them on my computer desk in my office and I woul say they can be put about 3 feet apart max.

I'm not entirely, sure-I believe the main transmitting antenna I was picking up while it did work were about 10 miles away. It worked for a few months, then died. I bought the RCA antenna at Fry's with a pre-amplifier, works better and is still working.

My range is at times as much as 50 feet. Most of the time I can have the transmitting source at one end of my home and I can venture to a different room at the opposire end before the Knivio begins to lose contact. There are instances when the range is much less. My range is reduced when the transmitting source is inside and I step outside the home. Reception is lost when the separation is as little as 10 feet. Another instance is when my bathroom's tiled walls seperate reception from transmission. Even at less than 7 feet.

this is a 5 watt radio. line of sight transmission would be limited by curverture of the earth or about 30 miles for two people holding the radio 5 ft off the ground. however trees and buildings interfere quite a bit. you can expect good comms within 5 to 10 miles.

The answer for any handheld VHF/UHF radio is highly dependent on terrain and other barriers to the signal, like buildings. On flat land or on the water, I think you could expect a maximum 4 or 5 miles between handhelds. Heavy woods, hills, or urban environments can reduce the range to half a mile or less.

Really depends on how far apart they are from each other. If too close one will interfere with other. They all operate at a 2370mhz transmission frequency.

I've used mine easily 300 ft away, with two walls in between. Range is very good.

Yes you can have multiple radios on the same chanel and talk to each other. Range depends on conditions open water could be around 20 miles or more, on land with houses and trees, around 2 to 5 miles with the radio on high power.

You might want to investigate the Holland uvsj vhf / UHF combiner separator. These provide isolation between the antennas systems. Read the pdf on their web site.

I have not used these for outdoors, just for warehouse communication among my employees and the office. A good rule of estimation for mobile radios is 1/2 the stated distance. For this model it would be 18 miles, which is still a long distance. This allows for any obstructions which may block the radio waves. Midland does make good communication equipment.

That distance would not be likely do to low power of the transmitters used.They would have to have a watt or more in use.

Would work, however, a cheap pair of walkie talkies would do just fine and would have no interference and would be more secure. They can be purchased at Radio Shack.

Around 200 to 300 feet...depends on power lines and interference in the area...

It depends on the terrain that is between the two radios. I use mine in some rugged mountains. Sometimes we can only communicate with each other within a mile. That would be when both radios are off the top of the mountain with bends or valleys between the two. From mountain top to mountain top you can sometimes get upwards of 5 miles. On average, our party is usually within 2 miles of each other and we normally stay in contact.
