I should mention the power settings‚ like low‚ medium‚ and high‚ and how they affect battery life and transmission distance. It’s also important to note that obstacles like buildings or terrain can reduce the effective range. Maybe include that higher power increases range but drains the battery faster.
I need to structure this clearly within . Let me try drafting: “The Quansheng UV-K6 offers adjustable transmission power‚ typically ranging from 1 to 5 watts‚ allowing users to balance range and battery life. Its effective communication range can reach up to 5 kilometers under ideal conditions but may vary depending on terrain and obstacles. Higher power settings extend range but consume battery faster‚ while lower settings conserve energy for longer operational time.”
