Re: [AFMUG] Grail or Gauntlet? ...or Maybe Just "Powerpointware"?

I read that quote before Patrick, and I am forced to wonder if that 
individual was in the United States and running at the correct (legal) 
power level.  And I wonder if he was comparing the naked 10dbi SM to a 
15dbi wimax CPE.  You could definitely get 10db more by turning up the 
tx power all the way and using a bigger antenna, and maybe you can do 
some electronic magic to make a little more out of the signal you're 
getting, but there's no magic that makes more db's appear.  If both 
systems started with the legal +40dbm then how does one end up with 10db 
more at the CPE?

I'm a skeptic by nature.
Testing back to back between Cambium and Telrad products on the same 
tower at the same azimuth, we found an average of 10dB better RF 
levels with Telrad’s equipment."
