Eric,
I think the reason antenna manufactures use dbi over dbd is dbi is
higher...the higher the spec the more impressed is the customer.
Most Hams probably do not know how to read the spec reference, dbi or
dbd. They see db.
When a Ringo-Ranger is advertised in Ham magazines it has 6 db gai
I justy rebuilt a Diamond X500 not much there but copper wire. The
problem with it, was, in the "loading coil" the base has a pair of
caps tacked to the base coil. They are crappy solder joints and one
lead of one cap just poped off the solder where it was tacked on.

dBi Ringo Ranger and the use of dBi I like it to a subterranean

I think a Heathkit cantenna radiates better.
