Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea what this means. In practical terms, how much further can a signal on 800 Mhz reach with this antenna.
Thanks prcguy, that helped. Here is the antenna. It seems overpriced. So it would not be worth buying over an factory antenna ?https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanants/1830.html
That specific antenna is better suited for a desktop scanner. That's why it has a swivel at the base.Thanks prcguy, that helped. Here is the antenna. It seems overpriced. So it would not be worth buying over an factory antenna ?https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanants/1830.html

What the reply and chart were showing you in it's strictest sense is that 6db is equal to 3.9 times more power. If I have an amplifier that puts out 10 watts and one that puts out 39 watts, the second one has a 6db increase in power output. Twice the power output is 3db or a x 2 increase.Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea what this means. In practical terms, how much further can a signal on 800 Mhz reach with this antenna.
Maybe a couple yards, maybe not. Replacing a 6" rubber duck antenna with another 6" rubber duck antenna is not going to give very noticeable results.Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea what this means. In practical terms, how much further can a signal on 800 Mhz reach with this antenna.
A wise old instructor once told his class, "Antenna gain numbers are developed by the Accounting Department."
