I find absolutely no problems. The range at altitude is often 75 miles or better.As for the coms , they are in the vert. stab. which is painted blue(non-metallic) so I cannot comment on that aspect. Don,and he's never wrong, did tell me that if I put the coms behind a metallic paint, the only one I'd be able to communicate with would be my passanger.
