You can purchase this db4 antenna at www.solidsignal.com for 60 to 70 dollars. But why pay that when you can make one for less than 8 bucks. When you make a db4 you can make another put them side by side and you just made a
db8 antenna.

  • @floweryork Excuse me?

  • the only thing about the triangle

    you're not getting the fullest of gain from all three the only thing you're doing is spreading out the gain in almost 360 degrees

    say you have 10 db gain on each antenna

    you would get around 20-25 db (including losses) if all of them were pointing in one direction

    you're getting about 6-8 db gain in each direction with the triangle(including losses)

    *this is my point of view with your design*

  • Yes you are correct... but that was just an experiment that some were wondering if and how well or bad it would work. Thanks for the video response your antenna turned out great.
