VHF transmission range is a function of transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, and distance to the horizon, since VHF signals propagate under normal conditions as a near line-of-sight phenomenon.
VHF, conventionally defined portion of the electromagnetic spectrum including any radiation with a wavelength between 1 and 10 metres and a frequency between 300 and 30 megahertz. VHF signals are widely employed for television and radio transmissions.
VHF band radio waves operate on lower frequencies but are longer, so they work better for long-range outdoor use in job sites, campgrounds, and farms. Unlike UHF waves, VHF cannot penetrate objects like buildings or other large obstructions.
