Get yourself some 7/8" heliax cable.  It's all over the place for about 
$2 ft.  You can get connectors on EBay for like $15-25 each.  Given the 
distance, your filters, connectors, lightning arrestor and cables you 
should not see more than 3-4 dB.  Of course that depends on whose filter 
you are using.


Then 9dB antenna and you are rocking..I would not go over 9dB either.  
Not worth the extra 1 or 2 dB considering the size.

Why go higher then 9db? The pattern will shrink to paper thin
figuratively speaking. We have wy better luck with 9db or less
at 900mhz.

2006-01-26 Thread Tom DeReggi

I agree with Barry.
If you are looking to get better gain, don't look for higher gain, look for 
higher quality antenna, that offers electronic downtilt or null fill.
It takes the energy focused upward that gets wasted, and focuses it more 
downward.  Be prepared to pay though.  I'm not aware of one in Horizontal 
Pol.  The only two 900Mhz horizontal pol omni makers I know of are, MTI and 
PacWireless. But I'm sure they exist. I know Antel made some downtilt 
version of Verticle pol.
