Yes, that's about my best as well (on occasions with very high flyinf a/c) with the standard supplied antenna (weather-proofed) mounted outside at about 210' asl, with a ssw - wnw aspect over the Atlantic Ocean.  I don't think I'll get much better with any other antennas unless, I mount them much higher.
