About 2-3 hexes for guaranteed voice contact.

It can be longer even for non-radio units, but depends on things like both units being in LOS of each other, experience rolls, suppression, etc. so cannot be guaranteed. You just might find a loose element right across the map, with no radio, marked as in contact. In that case assume the unit commander sent a runner to find them !.

Radios can work across the entire map to establish radio contact, but beyond 500m or so are more unreliable.

Being in voice contact of a Coy or higher level HQ in line of command, can allow a unit out of platoon command to be marked as in contact with its PL HQ - again, not to be relied on.

Contact is established at turn start, so try to ensure the 150m distance from PL HQ the move before.
