From what the guys say, the range is around 300 to 400 feet, way
more than BlueTooth. Jim WA6EKS

You can always use a foot switch. I would recommend this in

Their is an optional rj12 cable that goes from the control=20

If you do
a lot of listening, this can be especially fun.
An external speaker is also a nice addition to the station.
The internal tuner will tune an antenna with a 6/1 SWR. =20
