Is it worth it to shoot the extra cash on LMR 400 or Heliax?


Both these lines are very heavy compared to 8X. I doubt that a few db
will make or break your ability to use the radio. If the valley is very
deep, I doubt that 50' in elevation will help much either, especially if
you are trying to communicate 'over the hill'. These are line-of-sight
radios.
