I got mine just the other day. Haven't had a chance to hunt with it yet but i been practicing and studying what it can do. I tested it last night. Without the long range antenna, mine has a maximum range of .9 miles. WIth the long range antenna, mine has a maximum range of 1.5 miles. And this is just right here around the house. No steep ridges like where i hunt.
There are a couple places that I'm going to stay away from that are some really really big blocks of woods with no roads going in.
