Guess how far is the range of rf in this picture

Looking out the window of work today, I wanted to see if i could put my smarttop down.

http://www.slkworld.com/general-discussion/121481-what-smarttop-all-members-keep-talking-about.html

Someone estimate the distance from the window to my car in this picture. Can you see my black baby? Of course it worked!!

UK-C200 · Aug 25, 2010

I can see her hiding on the middle back left!

300ish feet?

PropDr · Aug 25, 2010

...240 Feet!

P.S. I can’t believe you’re driving your baby in this weather?

FLSTF · Aug 25, 2010

I'd think 190 ft'ish...

9 cars, 3 open spots, 8 ft wide spots x2

Enjoy,
Dave

PropDr · Aug 25, 2010

I was counting the grass

P.S. that’s why the good lord created Taxis.

jbanks15 · Aug 25, 2010

Driving my ‘Black Beauty’ voluntarily in the rain; I say ‘NAY NAY’!

That's why Mercedes makes the C Series - the daily wet weather commuter!

Around my area I prefer the Jeep all wheel drive system with three computer controlled LSD’s

I can see the small R171 next to the white sedan at the rear, the middle of the photo. Range: 310.75 feet (guess) from camera lens to R171 antenna.

jbanks15 · Aug 25, 2010

put on your spectacles Eddy. next to last car on left row way in the back like John said

etyu · Aug 25, 2010

That's what I thought I stated: in the rear, near the middle of the photo, there's a white vehicle to the right of the black R171.

mb911 · Aug 25, 2010

I'd be scared of the sedan parked next to black baby!

Awesome smart top demonstration!

Look at the roof line of that gorgeous SLK. What a wonderfully shaped car. Now compare that to what most drive to work. Quite a difference.

jbanks15 · Aug 25, 2010

I know the lady that parks next to me. she beats me in in the am

jbanks15 · Aug 25, 2010

Eddy, you see a white vehicle? maybe i need glasses!

etyu · Aug 25, 2010

Is that silver then? At any rate, it's a light-colored vehicle to the right of the R171.

jbanks15 · Aug 25, 2010

i think it is aqua or light blue but white is close enuff!

-1- · Aug 25, 2010

OK, how far was it? Looks to be 200-250'? Eddy, what's the best you recently reported? I looked for your post and couldn't find.

etyu · Aug 25, 2010

317 feet. Link: http://www.slkworld.com/diy-section/4404-how-strengthen-signal-r170-antenna-9.html#post57042

jbanks15 · Aug 26, 2010

241 feet. not bad.. need to park further and try it again

PropDr · Aug 26, 2010

I apologize for my gross inaccuracy :hail: I did not account for the twelve inches between the outside of the building wall and the position of the camera lens.
:biglaugh:

jbanks15 · Aug 26, 2010

you navy guys can't help it. you use knots instead of miles per hour!

PropDr · Aug 26, 2010

You are absolutely correct MSG! but it keeps us always about 10% ahead of the rest

milesy_boy · Aug 26, 2010

Looks more light blue/silver??but yeah..defo car parked beside you, at least if she dings it you know who it is....:biglaugh:

I've noticed, as I get older, and when not wearing my glasses, my SmartTop range is always greater.

filgreen · Aug 26, 2010

I would say it's quite a long way.

Guess how far is the range of rf in this picture?
