RE: How long do I cut the limbs for PMR 446?
Sounds like NR Jr is trying to reach you from the village itself, and is transmitting with buildings blocking line of sight to you. The trucks you can hear 3 miles away are probably in a clearer line of sight to you?

What Charles is saying is that using wrong connectors and coax cable at 446Mhz will absorb a lot of signal, both on transmit and receive. He's right and I didn't pick up on this. The dipole centre you have purchased has the wrong type of coax connector and is suitable only for frequencies up to approximately 144 Mhz.

How long is the coax between your transmitter and your antenna?
