Not really... but as the nature of the bandwidth beast is dealt with... the 4 dipole antenna gain is not super high (about ~3db). The dipole antenna I have the problem with is the first version of SRL235NM Antennal model. The SRL235NM makes an over priced coat hanger but a lousy repeater/ radio antenna. **** Check out the SD2352 if you have time. They spec 5db gain from 138-174 MHz. But it's also a real monster to mount on a tower... cheers, skipp
