A 25 watt signal is still.25 watts, regardless of antenna design. Gain just indicates how that power is used. Sent from my SM-S911U1 using Tapatalk That is true, but doesn’t matter. The “effective” radiated power (ERP) is the product of the power input to the antenna, times the gain relative to a half-wave dipole. jwilkers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
