What is the GAIN /dBi of this antenna? What OHMs?

8 ohms. Db output is ok (Mostly Higher Frequency's) 70 Hz and above. I would pay more for a better sub.

The short answer is yes. We have installed two of these with the associated patch antennas without issue. If you chose to go the Yagi route, you would need to pay attention to cable and antenna connectors as well as impedance rating (50/75 ohm). I would suggest trying it with the included patch antenna, if you do not get the gain you require, then try the Yagi.

I am not sure there was any information in the packaging concerning this, and I don't have the packaging anymore. Take a look at the specs on the site and see if it has any information. I will say that I am a "dead zone" and it works pretty well. Although I do still some signal loss intermittently. I also raised the antenna very high, which seems to help. Honestly, for a little more, you can get a better antenna, but it will look "ugly" above the house.

Hi Railson....I do not understand your question, "Higher gain antennas recommendations ?"....could you please clarify. Thank you Chris

I don't now the impedance, but the genuine antenna is working best. This is a great dialer.

The gain on this amplifier is average 10-12 dB over the frequency range. The CEA standard for digital indoor antenna amplifiers is 14 dB or less because higher gain causes issues with the tuners.

Since the Encore specs indicate that the decibel isotropic reference(dBi) for the antenna are only +2, these might be overkill.... In addition, I am assuming the connection on the router for the antenna accepts the screw on connector....http://compnetworking.about.com/od/homenetworkhardware/a/introduction-to-wifi-wireless-antennas.htm

It should work just fine. Basically, these are just gain antennas in the 2.4 GHz band, and will send the signal farther. The standard antenna I used did not get the signal there (about 50 ft.) When I used this antenna, it made it just fine.

Dont know about the coax. The terminations are N between the external antenna and the device, and N/F from the device to internal antena

Bruno - Several parts to this answer: 1. You will be getting +8dB in positive gain; 2. The Bolo is a "Directional Antenna". This means your signal is focused in one direction toward the source antenna, not all over the place as with an Omni-directional antenna. However, because of this, several criteria MUST be met in order for the Bolo to work properly. First, the antenna Must be properly mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions including the pipe diameter. The antenna itself must be secured from ALL wind interference. Once softly mounted, since this is a "line-of-sight" device, it MUST be visually aligned with the RX/TX source. There is an elevation and azimuth scale built in but it may be easier for you to sight it in visually along the liner axis. Thirdly, once you have it rough calibrated, a friend can help you fine tune it and of you are a real geek, you can use some real test instruments like RF meters, O-scopes or dB meters. Easiest way is just adjust the azimuth and elevation to the maximum number of bars signal strength. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY tighten the clamps to secure the final position. Recheck the signal strength. Once you have it mounted, it will never go out of adjustment! Mine is well over a year old now and is 1/4 mile from the source and works fine. Most of the time I have 5 bars but depending on weather conditions, sometimes it bounces between 4-5. The secret is you have to take the time to install it properly. There are those who want it to work perfectly out-of-the-box and when it doesn't, write bad reviews. But remember this: Amazon stands behind the product too! If it doesn't work, send it back! Plus, you can get in touch with me through Amazon. Good luck! RapidRabbitt

I also do not know what the dbm ratings are, You will have to check the site for that. I have had the antenna for quite a while now. Works amazingly well. holds up strong in the storms as well. It is mounted about 40 to 50 feet above the found. Its a very strong antenna as it picks up weaker broadcast signals.

I have no way to measure the output but it worked for me on two channels that I could not receive on antenna only. Also no matter the amp or booster it can only improve the signal it sees from the antenna. I you have a poor antenna or wiring then the amp you use can only boost the signal plus noise it sees.

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.

For me the antenna is fine, but it's connector is a coaxial standard . You should check the receiver specifications, especially resistance (usually 75 ohms) and then you can connect any standard antenna that meets those specifications.

The antenna is not great and there may be feedback to damage the output transistor on 7w. Get a dipole online and then go to 7w.

Hi Kenneth, I forgot to mention the stated gain: 3dbi. Loads of folks use them for CB and 10 meter ham radio. Cheers, Don
