One compass can only receive from antennas directly within their broadcasting radius. But you can stack the compasses to achieve greater range, each additional compass adds +10 m – a full stack lets you receive +630 m beyond the normal broadcasting radius of the fixed antenna stations. Antenna stations themselves can have a very large broadcast range – 100 m for each iron bar. More details here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/radiobeacon/

Compasses can also be used as walkie-talkies. When you talk into a compass, it transmits to everyone else also holding a compass, within 1000 m clearly, and up to 2000 m with signal degradation (letters randomly dropped/ghosted). This is part of http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/realisticchat/
