The Lone ranger was being held captive and managed to send a secret
smoke signal to Tonto.

"Help, bring posse"

Tonto shows up two later with three hookers.

Dammit, Tonto I said "posse" not "pussy"!

The distance depends on the power output and antenna of the other station,
geography and the sensitivity and antennas of your equipment. If the other
station has a lot of power and a good antenna, distances can be up to a
hundred miles if you are in the plains, and less than a mile if they are
portable in mountainous regions.
To sum it all up, there is no answer.

Amazing what one little typo can do. In the other group, you left out the
ending 'r' and got all good answers. Here, it's a different story
altogether.

The biggest difference I get is dependent on which freq they transmit on....
for 75 mhz I get about 30 mile, 480 mhz I get about 5 mile
As pointed out by others, there are sooooo many factors....
