Does anyone know if the KPP dual slant omni is an Alpha AW3089 or a knockoff? And has anyone used either of them? My experience with 5 GHz dual pol omnis has been disappointing, I'm wondering if these bigger, more expensive omnis deliver better performance. 11 dBi isn't much if you can lose

We have the Alpha AW3089 in use right now. The most obvious difference with KPP is the electrical downtilt of 2 degrees, vs 4 degrees on the Alpha. In theory you'd get more distance out of the KP, but the Alpha might be more deaf to distant noise. The KPP spec sheet showed deeper nulls than
