Yeah, I wonder how that works actually. If radius A intersects with B and C but B and C don't intersect with each other, do B and C see A chatting to someone who they don't see?

That's how mobile radios have always worked... CB, FRS, GMRS, etc. Definitely not a new problem. Repeaters can mitigate the problem somewhat.

That's a really great question, my curiosity is also piqued.
