Can someone explain the noise floor to me cause the amp's I looked at said something like 3.5db noise floor with 17db receive gain and 30db transmit gain (ye it's a 1 watt amp I know LOL)

No, because when your OMNI sends out a signal it's going in
all directions. A sector takes that signal and focuses it's
strength in the direction you've got it pointing. A sector
antenna will also "hear" better because it's focused on one
area rather than everything coming in from every direction.
The noise floor for a setup with an OMNI is much higher than
that of a sector setup.

Still the question is, does a Omni give you the same range as a sector?

sectors do a few things for me. One they allow me to split out my customer
and not over load an AP. secondly they allow me to track people that are war
roaming. Third they allow me to change my tilt to the typography of the
area. and last they mount nicely to the railing of water tanks and sides of
buildings giving me inexpensive towers.

The sectorized maxrad omni is a joke. Save yourself about 500$ and buy three
of there wisp series sectors and be done with it. You pay an extra $500 for
a fancy mounting apparatus to put them all together. Trust me there is no
difference in the performance, or appearance of the antenna's. Jason

The nice thing about the Maxrad sectorized omni is you can adjust the
patterns to exactly match your coverage area. Most everyone that I know
that's used them say they out perform the equivalent gain omni by some
degree.

Assuming a 13 db omni and a 13 dbi sector, and the same power, what is going
to be the better of the two as far as distance. If there is a diffference,
how much?
Also, I have looked at another omni that is sectorized. I'm assuming its
one physical unit, with three seperate antennas, and then you add a
splitter, reducing your power. Do these work decently?
