The lower the frequency, the less it will be affected by the trees. I've sent the 2.4GHZ radios through some trees before with no issues, but I have not tried a quarter mile. I would not be concerned about the elevation change though as long as you don't have to go through earth with the line between the radios. Cheers, Dave
