Yup, and they mean that. There are higher gain antennas, but you can
get in big trouble for using them without a permit, or for running the
full power into the 15db gain antenna. If they FCC imposes fines, they
are generally very high.

According to the product manual, the xBee Xtend has up to 1 Watt of power

Yes, but it is pretty interesting.
However, beware of the FCC regulations.
There are restrictions on what you can do with those type accepted
routers and switches, and what kind of antennas you can use without
special permits or li

I read about the wifi when you mentioned it originally, but I'm trying to
avoid relying on a traditional internet connection.
I guess long range wifi is a thing, though.
I'll be reading about QRSS.

OK, to clear up a couple of things here.
QRSS is ultra slow morse code. Not at all what you're looking for I
think. Yes, it can travel really long distances on low power, but you
aren't going to download Netflix videos with it unless you have
amazing patience and a 10 thousand year lifespan. :D

You mean you have other folks with M100s and HPs within a few kilometers?
I do! There are four or five of us with various vintage portables.

Of course I know this is'nt what you guys have in mind,
but perusing the page will leave you with some notion of
the trade-offs between power, bandwidth, and range.

Some friends and I considered starting a Fido-style Xbee bbs network and
Raspberry Pi SBCs, but as with everything we do, we lost interest when we
ran out of beer.
An adhoc network of Model Ts would be a neat idea.
