In my case, I only have a 4w handheld I can use in the house, and it's a townhome community so I'm surprised I can hit it even outside with all the obstruction. I'm near the Wegmans in Fairfax, about 1 mile west of the city line. And yeah, almost 10 miles exactly from the Seven Corners location. I'm not sure why they haven't renamed the repeater in the listing.
