There was some recent discussion on magnetic mount antennas on the Escapees forum. I have had one for a couple of years I thought was outstanding. It is the same one I used in the Cyfre wired amp test.
But how would this antenna perform when tested against a higher db gain (specification) antenna that was much larger?
The answer is that the little 5 dBi antenna "blew away" the larger 9dBi antenna.
You CAN NOT necessarily believe manufacturers claims about antenna gain. I have found this to be generally true in the cellular bands....not as true in the wifi bands. But there are LOTS of claims of superior gain in cellular antennas that simply is not born out by practical testing.
You can download and read the report off my website in the Communications section. Scroll down to the the Resources title.
