While manufacturers often cite theoretical maximums, the <strong>actual range<\/strong> is heavily influenced by physical obstructions like buildings, dense forests, and hilly terrain.<\/p>\n<p>In urban settings, signal penetration is often limited to a few blocks, whereas open water or flat plains can extend communication significantly.
