That is not really an omni. It is three sectors meant to be fed with three different radios. That being said, and in regard to my last post, a back to back array with a couple of 90's fed correctly would yield a pretty nice "omni" pattern that you could get close to 16 dB. Two 18 dB sectors with a decent splitter would yield a 15 dB omni. It would just be pretty "big" as far as antennas go.
