So now a question about noise from the amplifier. My current amplifier claims a noise value of 4 dB, the AP 8700 claims a value of 2.8 dB for noise and the PA-18 claims 1.8 dB. Assuming these are all accurate and all of the amps are operating as designed, is the 2.2 dB significant? I have read that a 1-3 dB difference in antenna gain is not significant, so I didn't know if that was the same for noise or not.
Thanks.
