How much real world difference, does a gain antenna make over your standard mono pole type antenna on cb .
Just for argument sake if you replaced one of those 99 stick type antenna, with a 3 element vertical dipole, at the same height. How much of an increase in tx/rx distance and quality would you see?. I have run many different types of low gain antenna, j-poles, dipoles, loops. I have not used anything beam, or yagi. Any input appreciated. Is this worth the effort on cb radio?
