Partially that, but RX gain really only helps to recover losses from a long coax run. Do you have a run of coax that loses 23db? If you mount the radio at the antenna and have zero coax loss, the lowest signal you will "see" is at -85 or -90 or so. If the amp claims to have 23db RX gain, is it really going to find a signal at -113db? I doubt it. YDI has a good article on why high RX gain is a meaningles number. If you poke around their site you will probably see it.
