We usually target 9-11 db for 5.x omnis. (most of the 12s we tried dont work as spec'd and to narrow V beam, and most of the 15s we tried also have way to narrow V beamwidths)
Recently, we have been using PCTEL (Maxrad) which makes a 5.1-5.875 wide band model at 10db. model MHO58010NF. There are several different part number dependant on whether you want the male or female N connector on the antenna. They have both. They may or may not come with mounts included. So you should verify that at purchase time. For the life of me, I cant remember where we are purchasing them from. Tessco has an assortment, which is often where I get mine. The Larson brand is also what I sometimes use in 5.x, but think they are listed as a single band, not as the full wideband, even though I use them wideband. Proxim also makes a nice 10db omni, that I sometimes had seen stocked at Winncomm..
