Does coax loss take away dbi from the antenna are is that different
Similar effect. If you have a certain signal level picked up by an antenna with a certain amount of gain, then add coax loss, the result will be like reducing antenna gain by the amount of coax loss.
The omni is 500 watts and the yagi is 200 does that make a difference
Only if you are going to hit the antenna with more than 200 watts on transmit.
The coax loss is going to be 1.884 db since the omni is 9 dbd will that take to 7 should I go with a yagi with more to compensate for the loss
If you can receive all the things you want with a directional antenna, then the Yagi should be cheaper for the same amount of gain. If you need to receive from multiple directions then an omni is easier to deal with.
The towers to my east, northeast and south are under 20 miles and less the northwest are 36-45 miles the rubber duck should get those under 20
Could be a Yagi pointed to the distant stations will pick up the closer stuff just fine off the sides and back but it needs to be tested, nobody can accurately estimate how it will work.

Its a grid parabolic, just like it says. Fairly directional, good gain, not something I would use trying to pick stuff up off the sides or back.What kind of antenna is this

Forward gain is within 1dB which is not much. Both have a folded dipole driven element for wide band width. The 806 to 824MHz range are for repeater inputs so you don't really need that. I would want to see them in person before deciding as one or both could be made offshore with poor quality materials.What are the differences between these besides the gain

Do you have recommendations for a yagi

i recommend you buy something...
if it does not work for what you want, try it on something else.

It would be nice if you could sit down with someone knowledgeable with all this that can explain all the stuff. Or have somebody just hand you the exact thing you need.
You're right about all of it

start buying and you will figure out your questions.
like many have said the way you find out is to try, as we are all guessing.
i have 6 daily radios and about 4 extra antennas around.
but i am listening to my county, some government, some military and businesses.
what goes in the radio is determined by what antenna is on it.
i mentioned before that you can't have enough radios and antennas.
and to show you how little the antenna means i can hear the space station on a uniden 396T from 2005 with a radio shack 800 Mhz antenna that is about 6 inches long. the station is on 145.8 and 145.825.
all i did was to try and listen to it, that is how i found out i could hear them.
so that is the message, try it and see what happens.
