If you can surgically block everything below .6 (I think it is .6 might be 1) you can get 6 dB more signal than free space path loss. That is the principle of zone plate antennas.
I agree, if you are seeing the second, you need to lower or keep going higher to get all of the third or you are losing ground.

The higher you go the more even number Fresnel zones you expose which are out of phase for the odd numbered ones. This will actually lower signal. Higher is not always better. Best practice is to try to achieve between .6 and 1 Fresnel zone clearance. Going higher exposes the second zone and starts you losing signal strength.

I don't think I've ever been able to hit the expected signal on a 3+ mile link with those radios, so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get much more than that out of it.
