Hiki i ka lekiō paʻa lima ke loaʻa kahi mamao kelepona a hiki i 5 mau kilomita ma kahi ākea, hāmama, a hiki ke ʻike ʻia. ʻO kēia kahi walkie talkie liʻiliʻi, māmā, a me ka mana haʻahaʻa i kūpono no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lima a i ʻole ka ʻeke, e maʻalahi i nā poʻe ke lawe a kamaʻilio i ka wā e hele ai. ʻAʻole i ʻoi aku kona mana ma mua o 5W ma ke kāʻei alapine VHF a me 4W ma ka pā alapine UHF.

ʻO ka lekiō kelepona, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo nā kamaʻilio walkie kaʻa, loaʻa ka mana maʻamau o 25W a 50W. ʻO ka mamao kamaʻilio ma nā kūlanakauhale ma kahi o 10 mau kilomita, a hiki iā ia ke piʻi ma luna o 20 mau kilomita ma nā kula a i ʻole nā ​​pāpū. Aia ma kahi o 5 mau kilomita ma nā alanui mauna. He mea maʻamau ka lekiō kelepona i nā mea hana o nā hui kaʻahele kaʻahele ponoʻī a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea makemake i waho o ke alanui, ma hope o nā mea a pau, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā kamaʻilio walkie lima lima maʻamau, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna kelepona kelepona a me ka hoʻouna ʻana a me ka hoʻokipa ʻana, e hāʻawi ana i ka hiki ke kamaʻilio maikaʻi no ka hui.
