While you will get better distance than the hand held unit I seriously doubt that you are getting more then 3 miles with only 500mw @ 460mhz.
UNLESS you are in complete line of site.

My moble Ham rig without line of site can only do about 15-20 miles on a full 50W (and that is at a more optimal 144mhz frequency). However with line of site I can get some crazy distance.
