Very nice, thank you for sharing your experiences. I am eyeing these radios as well myself. Even if I have an entire fleet of XPR (U/V only) and SL radios, I guess one can never have enough radios, right...? I think its a common disease found in forums like this one LOLOL.... (sarcastic)
The range comparison is quite good, indeed. One possible explanation is that different materials have different transparency index to the wavelength going through it; like heat vs visible light, for example, common glass is opaque to heat, wavelength ~13 microns, but its perfectly transparent to 0.45 micron wavelength (visible green light) , and the same is true, germanium is opaque to visible light, but is crystal clear to 13 micron heat... so my guess is that at the frequencies being used, the things are more transparent than at 460 mhz.
