Radio waves do not penetrate far through soils, rocks and most man-made materials such as concrete. The loss of radio reception or cell phone connection while driving a car through a tunnel or into an underground parking garage attests to this.
Using this minimal detectable signal level, this model would show a maximum penetration depth of about 400 meters.
