According to the technical pages available on Antennas Direct's web site, the gain at +/-60 degrees off straight ahead drops to about 8-12 dB, with the lower gain at the lowest channel (14) and climbing at the highest (51). Gain figures are about 15-17.5 dB when both are aimed to the same direction. You can download that document from their site.
