I would have to pull the info, but if I remember right, it is 5.5db gain in the omni config.
The normal config is the dogbone pattern. Check their web page and specs. They did a special version for my company in an omni version and it works very nice. I also had them mount a weatherproofed combiner/diplexer at the antenna so i could feed it with a single feedline of 1 1/4 coax. The elements are about a big around as your thumb and have a very broad bandwidth. I also have a single band (150mhz) version. It has about 20mhz plus bandwidth. The cost for the special dual band was in the $3800 range. It normally is in the $1800 range. Paul On Jan 20, 2008 3:38 PM, georgiaskywarn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Very interesting.
