Receivers do just that they receive, they are NOT range rated because they will receive as long as there is a signal of sufficient strength to receive, range is limited by the transmitter.
@exeter_acres FWIW 27 MHz systems are for surface use only.

That's not exactly true. What is true is that a receiver will receive if it's on the correct frequency AND if the antenna is intact. Shorten the antenna and you have reduced the capability of the receiver to properly receiver the transmit signal.. no matter HOW powerful the transmitter is. It relys on wavelength to receive the correct frequency. Wavelength is specific to the operating frequency and must be very close to that length, if not spot on, to operate properly. The closer it is to the proper wavelength the better the receiver will perform, range wise.
