Amps amplify signal *and* noise, so to my thinking, you'd want as little amping as possible. High gain antennas is good, but the higer the gain, the narrower the vertical beamwidth.
Good luck and have fun figuring out what's best. ;) (I started out with a 500mw amp and a 8dB omni. Everything got *much* better when I went to sectors) Tim Foster Aledo BroadBand � www.AledoBroadBand.com � Aledo's only high-speed ISP > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan @ Wyoming.com > Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 9:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Cost Effective Tower! > > > I would at least go with a 9dbi omni.
