What range can I realistically expect from a walkie talkie in Bangladesh?
Golam Kibria2026-03-30T09:06:28+00:00Advertised range (e.g., “10–15 km”) is usually
ideal open‑field range, not real city conditions. In Bangladesh:
- Inside cities (Dhaka, Chattogram, etc.): concrete buildings and interference may limit usable range to 500 m – 2 km without a repeater.
- Inside factories/hotels: expect several floors / one large compound, depending on walls and metal structures.
- Open rural areas or resorts: you may get several kilometres if the terrain is flat and there are few obstacles.
For long‑range coverage across multiple buildings or a large industrial area, businesses in Bangladesh normally use
repeaters and external antennas, with proper BTRC permission.
