No.... you will get similar range... If you want the best range you can,
just install a "perfect" antenna.
I may acheive a 40Nm range with 2500' above grouns with an old Icom A20.
The "secret" is a good and large ground pannel inside the wood and
fabric fuselage. It's made from metalic mosquito mesh.
