Just got back from the radio shop. 7 miles, still showed 4 out of 5 bars on the comm. I did drop the signal at ~7.25 miles and I turned around at that point, I am not sure if it would have picked it back up or not, and I dropped it a time or two around 3.5 miles as I was driving by some large office towers. I assume they had something to do with the dropped signal.
Radio man says I should see much better range once I get away from the radio interference in the city.
