Hello all:
(see pic)
The antenna up top is an 800MHz 9dBi (6.9dBd) omni antenna located at 18ft from the ground. I use it to receive scanner info only. Works awesome for VHF, too...
I have a 6dBd 800MHz Motorola yagi I want to use for the ATT/Vz towers 8.3 crow miles away. I have verified through phone diagnostics I am only using 850MHz and not 1900. How far below the omni do I need it?
You may slap me for this, but is a 6dBd yagi any more efficient than a 6dBd omni when trying to acquire the signal from a direct point?
Thanks!!
