Remember toys by a company called Mego back in the 70’s? Anyway, here is a commercial for toy they produced in those days (I think this was one of the many toys I circled in the toy section of those BEST catalogs).

Either one of my friends or cousins had this toy. Like one commenter mentioned on youtube, there is NO WAY this thing had a range of 1300 ft.
