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

Are you taking about compared to FRS walk-in talkies? First FRS is limited to 2 watts and their built in antenna which are often not good. Police will radios will have a good antenna and probably 5-10 watts of power. Also in many cases they will actually be being picked up by a repeater which is at a high altitude to improve the chances of line of sight. The repeater receives the signal and then retransmits it at 100-200 watts from its high location. So the other officer 10 miles away with a hand held didn’t need to directly receive the signal they get the booster repeater signal.
