With the lower gain of those antennas I think 9 miles is a bit far if interference rears its head. For speed, since it seems he's getting the required signal and little noise, check out this table: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/airFiber/AF5-Distance-Throughput-Chart-Community-Maintained-47-dBm-EIRP/td-p/868782 .
