My ol' '01 works coming up our mtn road, before our driveway begins...
must be 75 yds minimum, fwiw. And, it isn't line of sight as we are
ascending a hill/turn, and the driveway slopes down to the garage,
"below" that slope.

At our FLA joint, in the flatlands, it works from the end of the block:
must be 200+ yds.

I'm not sure if line-of-sight has to do with it as there's a fence barely in the way, but from what I can tell the range isn't great, but it does the job for me.
