Is 2.4ghz gear typically used for this? I live in NJ, but have clear line of sight to midtown (I can see from ~30th to 86th st out of my window, I can easily pick up most of the city on 2m and 70cm bands with my yagi ( http://paste.click/tnHdWr ), even crappy handheld radios). However it's around 7-8 miles so even with a highly directional antenna, standard 2.4ghz gear would probably be a stretch. Does anyone run 800mhz gear? I feel like that would be a lot more useful as the effective range is a LOT further and it can actually go through walls to an extent.
