Re: What's better? Higher Radio Output or Antenna Gain

It depends on what your situation is.

If you have 100% pure line of sight, higher gain/less power, as others have advised. HOWEVER, if you don't have good LOS, then a lower gain antenna with more power seems to work a little better. It seems the lower gain antenna "gathers" the reflected signals better, but it needs all the power and receive sensitivity it can get in this situation.

My 2 cents........

In about 10 months I've been reading and posting on this forum it's first time that I read something that could apply to my case and situation. In my base station I'm using a 2 watt amplifier. So far it's been working pretty good for me.
