But isn't that relative to your distance (or path) from the station you
want to receive? The lower gain antennas would work just fine if the
signal is strong enough.
What you said is effectively (in FM terms): Simplex antennas need higher
gain to make up for the weaker signals over repeaters. So why aren't
there repeater antennas and simplex antennas? (aside from the quality
aspects)
