Like a police officer’s handheld radio is able to transmit to another unit let’s say 10 miles away, and he’s able to do that with ease. How is this possible? How come handheld radios that we have access to can’t do that? I know this probably sounds dumb to most of ya’ll but

Most handheld consumer radios operate at 0.5-1 Watt. Handheld Motorolas operate around 5 watts of power. Vehicle radios can go up to 100 watts of power. Going higher usually requires an FCC license. Most of the bands operated on police freqs are completely different than handheld radios with less noise and interference. Some police bands require more or less wattage send/receive signals.
