Depends on the frequency the radio is operating at and the power available to transmit. UHF and VHF (the normal use radio frequencies to date) are limited to line of sight transmission (basically the horizon) while HF (most ham operators and ships have this) can (in the right atmospheric conditions) transmit around the globe (the signal is reflected off the atmosphere back to earth and reflected off the earth back to the atmosphere...ect....)

It depends on a number of factors including the type of antenna and the terrain over which it is expected to operate. Even atmospheric conditions can affect radio reception. Last but not least, it has a lot to do with the power of the transmitter. Sorry I can't give you a more specific answer without more specific information.

It depends upon the frequency and the power output.More frequency means more absorption in the atmosphere and the range becomes less.If the power output is more , the range may increase.

Yep. I agree with everyone.
It depends on Frequency & type modulation fm, am, ham, etc, Temp. Altitude, country for watt licenseing and output, type of antenna/array, height, etc
