I can't be 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure when you tune room on one of your radios ( for me) you get text in purple that goes to range.

That's tower based text which isn't the same thing. Hmm, I haven't checked it in years but when I started, if you up at two different fields, you couldn't talk to each other, even within icon range.

I thought it was only people that came from your base.

This is still the case. Purple text is "room", which is to say, anyone who ups from that particular base can see each others' purple text, regardless of how far away they end up.  It is NOT the same as range.
