Robert, I strongly recommend Comet antennas... in 2.4GHz it is the only omni I typically recommend.
Just had a customer swap out some Pac Omni's for Comet ones and he told me he saw an across the boards performance increase. My own limited testing in our old WISP showed them to outperform the Pac's we had elsewhere. I personally generally recommend the GP-24-3... which is 12dBi with 3 degrees of downtilt Daniel White 3-dB Networks http://www.3dbnetworks.com >-----Original Message----- >From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On >Behalf Of Robert West >Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 8:23 AM >To: 'WISPA General List' >Subject: [WISPA] Comet Antennas > >I was looking for a decent 2.4GHz Omni for some small AP's I'm in the >process of setting up in our outlying areas with low population density >and >came across these Comet antennas over at wlanparts.
