Sometimes if you just ask the question Relative to what! All manufactures
don't base there Gain spec on Unity Gain of a Dipole,
Some have there own "Base Spec" , and nobody knows what it is , I am always
leery of companies that tend to always have the most of
everything . The Company I worked for bought some Fiberglass antennas that were
supposed to be 6 - DB Gain & a 1/4 wave
Mobil antenna would out perform them we ended up junking them . Had to drive
200 Miles one way and change out 16 Antenna .
The antenna that worked best for us was a commercial copy of the ringo ranger
3/4 wave length on bottom & 1/2 wave length on top
with hair pin between.
