*The gain measurements are based only on signal reports using dipole and beam comparisons at various wattage. Gain can vary with antenna location, the quality of your build and type of coax and ground conditions you may have.
We strongly suggest
LMR 400 or equivalent.
Other coax will result in much
lower gain.
