Does the gain of the antenna really matter?
Yes, it does. The gain of an antenna translates to greater distance for transmission and reception. A gain of 6db usually results in a performance increase of four times the radio’s power output and eight times with a 9dB gain. However, other factors can be equally important, including the tuned frequency of the antenna and its SWR. Digital Antenna tunes all of its products in accordance with the median frequency of usage, (i.e., VHF will be tuned for 156.8 MHz). Our SWR ratio approaches 1:1, reducing most of the losses associated with the competitors’ antennas. All of these factors are important when it comes to choosing an antenna.
