Hi everyone

I bought alpha 200 from bulgaria. The distance of this device is limited to 10 km. I bought the same device again from Sweden. The distance of this device appears to be 14,5km.

What is this difference due to? How can I increase the distance of the device I bought from Bulgaria.

thank you.

Sorry for my lang.
Their radio power (and distance) is the same and depends on the terrain and the efficiency of the antennas.
If the range is not enough, take an antenna with an increased radius. Alpha 100, by the way, came with it.
