Is everyone buying these because they have 40dB gain or because they
are the only reasonably priced GPS timing antennas on eBay right now?

Thomas,
I bought mine because of the gain, but on +5V it performs worse than a
"38 dBi" antenna, quite a lot worse. I'm wonder whether it needs more
volts, or whether it's simply broken. It was ex-equipment, and not in
very good shape, but it was described as "used" so I'll just write off
the loss, I suppose.
BTW: I did appreciate the discussion on Chinese 'scopes - I ended up
getting a DS1052E and I'm delighted with it, considering the price.
Cheers,
David
My Tbolt with a Lucent 40 dB antenna was able to pick up two birds in
my office during a rainy period.
A Droid held next to it did not see any birds.
I have not gotten around to trying the Lucent outside.
