I'm sure that with proper ham equipment, you could get multiple-mile range on the links. The only limitation would probably be antenna height on the robot (especially if there is ground clutter). Actually, you could actually use a local ATV repeater a few miles from the robot, and have the command point be 10-20 miles further away! -Thomas Edwards N3HAU (just remember Ham bands are for purposes which do not include making money)
