What is the expected communication range of simplex radios?

2-3 miles
4-5 miles
6-7 miles
12-15 miles

The correct answer is: 6-7 miles

The expected communication range of simplex radios typically falls around the range of 6-7 miles in open areas with minimal obstructions. Simplex communication is a one-way system, allowing one transmitter to send a message while the others listen, which often leads to clearer signal transmission over moderate distances. The range can be influenced by factors such as terrain, presence of buildings, atmospheric conditions, and the power of the radio being used, but in ideal conditions, a range of 6-7 miles is a reasonable expectation for short-range communication tasks. While lower ranges, such as 2-3 miles or 4-5 miles, may apply in urban settings or heavily obstructed environments, or higher ranges like 12-15 miles might be seen under optimal conditions, these ranges would not represent the typical expected output of most simplex radios in standard usage scenarios. Thus, understanding the common effective range helps in planning communication strategies in various transportation or emergency settings.
