If you are using the tinyos 1.1.15 check out the MakeXbowLocalfile in the /apps folder. You can manually set the radio power from 0x00 to 0xff. This will in turn affect the transmission range of the motes. In an indoor environment, 0x00 gave us a range of 7 feet between two mica2s (run the CntToLedsAndRfm and RfmToLeds application on 2 motes to get an idea of the range) while 0xff gave us a range of over 250 feet. The range was similar in an outdoor env although more packet losses were encountered. Raising the motes aobe the ground def helps in increading the range

Hi All,
Can anyone give me a rough idea as to the maximum transmission range of
a mica2 mote? I know that this would be influenced by many factors
(e.g., interference), but if I were to place some motes in the middle of
an open field, approx. how far would they be able to transmit?
Thanks,
Brett P
