What is the "db gain" on this antenna?

I tried to buy this antenna, but it was shown in error and the contracted co. would not sell it for the price Amazon listed it. Put in a search for this model on the web.

Wish I could answer this for you, but I have no idea. All I can say is so far this antenna has been an excellent purchase for our home.

It should increase your reception, but I wouldn't guarantee it. I have bought two other amplifiers that have 25 db which work great but they don't sell them anymore.. I have not had the same response with this one.

. you need to purchase a signal booster and the antenna. makes a ton off difference. look at part # 815126 booster # 859970 home kit and 301125 antenna.

Hi, This antenna has up to a 30db gain. It is compatible with 802.11 B,G,N. Works with both Microsoft an Mac OS.

You Need A 2.4 Signal Booster High Gain Antenna. The Antenna is Fitting The Receiver.

This unit does not work without an antennae.But once you attach one,look out this thing has mad output at its lowest setting I am getting 44 db at 500 yds

Yeah, you need two and two adaptors. I'd look for a better antenna setup if I were you. I have this and it really didn't do much at all (I'm a ham radio operator too, so I know what a 9 dBi boost does...) It might be fairly cheap and easy, but is not much gain. a planar setup with booster would be light years better.

according to the mfg,"max gain uhf 10.4 dBi, vhf 3.1 dBi." You can also contact Antennas Direct: their customer service is quite good.

When you hooked it up also check your placement and adjust it a few times in different directions.Each adjustment you make you may have to re-scan the channels. I also found that the gain can be adjusted up or down to get maximum channel also. I found ths to be a geat antenna. Hope this helps!

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

I only have the DB2 hooked up now here in the chicago burbs and I get 2, 5, 7 and 9 just fine in addition to all the uhf channels.You'll really have to check it out for yourself, location, distance from signal, obstructions in the way, are you on a hill, flat or in a valley, house ,apt or condo etc etc...all are factors towards a good installation of the right antenna.

Before antenna: no over the air channelsAfter antenna: several over the air channels#gain

That's a tough one to answer! There are SO many variables. To start with, we know the gain of this antenna - it's one of the highest, varying from 11 dBi at channel 14 to 16 dBi at channel 55. However, major factors other than the gain of the antenna are the power of the transmitter(s) you're trying to receive. They vary greatly, but go as high as about 1 million watts. Then there's terrain. Any mountains between you and the desired stations. What's the height of the transmitting antenna at the stations you're trying to receive. And using a low noise pre-amp for long distance reception is a must. However, I can give you the tools to check it yourself. First, using the Internet go to tvfool.com On the right side of the page, click See which stations you can get on a map. Scroll down to Start Maps. Click it of course. This brings up a new screen. Type in your address. Then click Map This. When the new page opens up, scroll down and you'll see a list of all the stations you should be able to get. The ones you'll be able to receive with the XG91 antenna are all of those whose number in the last column - the one called NM (dB) have a number larger than -18. So start at the top and work down the -18 level. That's your cutoff for digital TV. And play around with the tvfool path calculator. There are some other neat features, such as actually being able to SEE the signals that are coming in at your address.

Not sure that's a relevant question, but I'll try to answer by giving information. It's the highest gain antenna I found, useful for receiving signal outdoors (house to house) rather than indoor. It is directional so it needs to be pointed in the general direction of the other antenna. The reception is noticeably stronger than my 9dbi antenna once pointed correctly so I would say it definitely does its job.For performance issues you may need to troubleshoot the internet connection, network cards, cables or the router. It's unlikely to be the antenna.

To get effective gain, it needs to have a ground plane to mount on. That a large sheet of metal. If your in a moble home and it has a metal roof, that would work.If its FM and the stations are in the same direction, I look at some house FM Antenna. For AM see what the amature radio info, it might be a long wire strung and how to put an lighting arrestor.Hope that helps

according to specs the gain is negative for VHF, so you will be better off with a plain dipole for that frequency range.I have a station on VHF channel 12 very close and this antenna won't pick it up, but it is pretty good with the remote UHF stations.
