I just look at it this way, no matter how big the plane is, you not going to see that plane when you loose radio contact. It just ain't gonna happen.

Although there are many variables, like you were talking about, this test was used like normal flying operation at a field. Nothing labrotary kind of stuff. Plus most radios have the same kind of stuff in them, so you're PROBABLY not going to find one that only reaches 1 mi. They are all going to be on out there in the range. I know, there is going to be that one that will only give you limited range and you won't know it.

This really gives a good reference of what our radios are capable of now days.
