Ok, so for example:
I have a channel at NM -10 dB. I thought this meant the signal "in the air." So wouldnt using dBi be correct (I am guessing isotropic means in-the-air, or a no gain antenna)....

Balun question
To reduce my signal loss, I've been thinking of my balun/transformer.

CM 4221 (old version) reflector?
Looking at CM 4221's reflector, it appears its curvature faces the back (away from directors), is that correct?
Shouldn't the curvature face the front direction?
:confused:
