Solid Signal,
I am trying to get the gain of the Solid Signal HDB91X in dBd at the coaxial connection. I believe the charts provided by Xtreme Signal are raw gain figures in dBi but that does not tell me what I need to know. What is useful is dBd that I will actually obtain from the antenna's "output" by frequency. Raw gain does not take into account the losses at different frequencies from the balun, etc...., that is in-between the "raw" antenna and the coaxial connection.
If you have dBd gain figures in the 470 to 692 Mhz range at the coaxial connection, I would greatly appreciate it. The best would be a table of dBd gain starting at 470 Mhz with increments of 6 Mhz but if you do not have that, I'll be happy with a chart or maybe 5 samples within the 470 to 692 Mhz range. If you only have dBi figures that's fine to. I'll just subtract 2.15 from each value. Just don't send me dB because that is a relative term. If dB is substituting for dBd (or dBi), just state that clearly.
I need this so that I can combine it with the tvfool NM db to determine signal quality for various channels where I plan to put my antenna. I tried to contact Xtreme Signal but have not heard from them yet.
Thank you very much,
Jean-Marc Bertrand
