Whats your opinion booty monster about sirio beam antennas on how well they would perform.

Sirio 3 element 8.5 dBd 10.65 dBi Sirio 4 element 11 dBd 13.15 dBi doesn't this information mean the 4 element has more gain than the 3 element that means to me the 4 element would out perform the 3 element because I always thought the more gain a antenna had the better it is going to tx and rx.

Hello can some body give me some info on the sirio 4 element beam.I know on the sirio website that it says it's horizontaly polarized does any body have any ideals about it performing the same if it was mounted vertical.

I was wondering that to 555 thats why i wanted to get some opinions on this antenna.Like I said i'm on a budget so I don't want to waste money on a antenna that barely gets out.I know it says on the sirio antenna site that it's horizontaly polarized but if you look at the information on ebay it...

555 why wouldn't you see a difference in going from a 3 element to a 4 element beam.The 4 element has 1 more element and a longer boom so wouldn't that mean the 4 element would have more gain.

I am looking at buying a beam shortly to put up vertical on my 70 ft tower so I can talk to some of my friends who live about 65 miles from me.I'm on a budget so I been looking at a sirio sy 27-4 4 element beam from h & y electronics for $150 plus shipping.Does any body have this antenna up and...
