Distance suppose to reach 8 miles but only less than a mile

Using the old (pre GPS) method you would use the sectional and plotter (aviation ruler) and measure the distance. Using a GPS you can usually turn on distance rings on the screen or if you have the airport selected as destination you can read it right off the screen. If it's your home base you should learn the landmarks and their distances from the airport. In the Miami area, there are so many airports and landmarks, if you're flying there, during your preflight preps you should measure out distances to some landmarks that you plan to pass over and mark them on the chart or flight log.

should take around 8 hours and 22 minutes of driving time taking I-10 to I 95 and up. The distance is 538 miles. I got that from Google maps just ask them and the'll tell you the best route and time.

how far is it across the desert

normally that occurs because the gas in the tank is too low ans sloshing around and the sensor is not able to give an accurate estimate of distance to empty, remember those are just rough estimates ans should never gallons leftbe relied on to be accurate to the last few miles by the time it says 20 miles you probably have 1 to 1-1/2 gallons of gas left

Any engine, when cold, takes at least 3 miles before reaching operating temperature.. After reaching operating temp it still takes a mile or 8(depending on your vehicle) before "over" temperatures are reached. Therefore if needed, a vehicle can be driven several miles without any coolant/water at all before overheating and causing damage, if started from from cold.

Taking 93000000 Miles as Distance between earth and sun, you want to know how much time it takes for the light to touch Earth's atmosphere

93000000 / 186000 = 500sec

500 secs is 8 min 30sec Approx

so it takes 8 mins and approx 30 secs for light to reach from sun to earth

The number of miles stated on the package pertain to the approximate distance you can contact somebody IF you were in an open field.

Keep in mind these radio signals travel by air, and if we have trees, houses, and tall buildings around us, the signals will meet interference and bounce around before reaching their destination.

In an urban area, the most you'll get is about 1 mile. I have the exact same radios as you, the LXT 326 model with black and blue on it, and I can use it to talk to family with a radius of about three blocks in every direction from my house. After that, the messages have a lot of static and are no longer understandable.

On the back of the console, there is a place to switch from kilometers to miles. It's just a black little switch, labeled with miles or kilom.

It's in Miles The treadmill goes a max of 14km an hour - if you increase the speed it only goes to 8 - 14km per hour is 8.4 miles per hour and I've been running between 5.5 and 6.5 and covering 3 miles which would be about right :) Hope this helps

Hi Mark,

I understand your concern with the actual range of the Motorola T5000. Being UHF radios, they are severely limited by any obstruction in between, be it trees, buildings, hills, foliage, terrain and any others that would block "line of sight". Additionally due to the inherent design restrictions imposed on these radios, the FRS channels are limited to pushing out 0.5 watts making the GMRS channels better choice since the radio will be transmitting at 1 watt. To my knowledge, channels 8 - 14 are FRS only.

Possible things you can try to improve transmit distance are:
1. use AA Alkaline batteries instead of the rechargeable ones;
2. disable or minimize settings of interference eliminators, Quiet Talk, noise filters, coded squelch or CTCSS;
3. replace the stub antenna with a Larsen Quarter wave. You may need to install a BNC mount to accommodate the Larsen. Incidentally, this will also improve the receive range and not only the transmit.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
