Depends. If the range is determined by the horizon, and the horizon is further away the higher the viewpoint is, then a higher radar could see farther. If the range is less than the horizon, then a higher radar wouldn't extend the range anyway.

For example: go to a tall building. From the ground look at how far you can see. Now, go to the top floor, and how far is it to the visible horizon now? Repeat the same exercise at night, and no matter how high you go, you still won't move the horizon closer.
