Is a great range a meter, a kilometer or a light year?
They work on the UHF band, there the range is around 2-15 km, it depends where you are.
That's right, performance is given in W, otherwise it depends on the conditions. I'm just sorry they're doing preconto for those stands. Why doesn't it charge like a mobile phone? It is important that a person guards if he has a stand. I ordered a similar model that was here recently, the stand can be connected to a mobile phone charger via a USB port. I don't understand the intermediate clause..
