When setting a Manhattan  zip code for example, it doesn’t seem to matter if I indicate a 100 mile radius or a 300 mile radius. It only seems pull about a 15 miles radius.

Using "Import from data source", "Location" = 10001 and "Band" = "2
meters (144MHz)", I the following numbers of repeaters are retrieved.

Distance: # of repeaters
15: 50
100: 367
300: 1387
