read my quote carefully, (below) and explain where the confusion exists. "at" was not in the radio transmission example.

Was that ABX 441 at 7000? or ABX 440 at 17000?

Stick a "with you" in there and there's no confusion.
That said, I agree with you its not 'AIM correct'. My only point remains that "with you" can serve a purpose; it's not as dumb as some people claim. But sticking with the standard vernacular is never a bad idea.
