What is the Range of a HAND HELD CB?

Saw this on the cheap gift rack at Target. It's to plug in your cell phone speaker jack and claims it's PTT. Doubles as a speaker for music or whatever, too.

Would be very inefficient, the fire stick would need a ground to work off and the HT would not provide enough. You could rig up a "tiger tail" counter poise but it would need to be five feet long and fairly awkward to use hand held. Honestly you could make it work but it would not be worth the effort.

This setup is for my lawn mower it would be grounded to that
would it work???

Looking for something to do mowing while the lawn
as I mow 37 acres... LOL with only a 46 inch deck lawn tractor

Would I get anymore range with a hand held hooked to a FireStik???

Anybody want to take a guess as to how much RFI he is going to get from the ignition? :LOL:
