> Lt. Highwaij > Klingon planet > After: Trouble Ahead Highwaij was checking the communications systems, from both the personal /communicators and the Ships comm systems, the Personal Communicator Velocity: warp 9.9999 Range: 500 km (unboostered) To extend the communications range of a personal communicator a starship must be within 40,000 km to establish a sensor lock / computer link with the communicator to boost the signal. Without boostering, personal communicators are limited to a line of sight 500-kilometer range, and are subject to common geological and Electro-Magnetic interference. and the Starship Communications Velocity: warp 9.9999 Range: 22.65 LY (unboostered) To extend communications range from a remote location on the edge of explored space, a starship must be within 22.65 LY of a Subspace Relay/Booster Platform to link communications with the Starfleet Subspace Network, and the Federation Civil Communications System. Such long-range communications can take months of subspace travel before being received by the intended party. both where needed onboard or off the ship on away mission, after a few hours work, he found out that everything was working as it should. > Lt.
