Description
New Directional 8-db gain transmit/receive Yagi-Configuration Antenna 698-896mhz Quick-CA standard Quick-Couple low-loss male coupler was factory installed with a single strain-relief zip tie securing the coax lead to the antenna to mechanically-protect the final coupling structure into the antenna's signal-loading point. The 3" x 3" square physical mounting plate has four mounting holes in a 2-3/8" square pattern.

signal increasing gain to and from Yagi configuration antennas occurs at the small end. Those unfamiliar with how much gain 8-dbs is might feel more comfortable in thinking in terms of sending and receiving power gain. This antenna's 8-dB gain = 6.31 times as much power. Each 1 db gain multiplies power by 20.6%. Perceived hearing sensitivity change effects are best interpreted by db units rather than interpreted by linear power units for reasons that I can't briefly explain well in a short product description. Hint: Mother nature uses log (multiplying) scales more often than linear scales. The same is true of our light sensitivity.
This antenna is about 13" long, 7" wide across its widest spot, and about 2-1/2" tall. That size may seem suspiciously small to those who remember seeing old roof-top TV antennas, but remember that as frequency increases, wave lengths get shorter. This is a high frequency antenna. Its appropriate size was determined by applying mother nature's laws rather than by any effort to skimp on cost. Antenna book math predicts this size for this configuration at these frequencies. If it were intended for use with lower frequencies, it would be larger.
I'll mention in passing that connecting this antenna with coax to an already maximum legal-limit radiated power transmitting transceiver, which rating was generated while connected to a non-directional "rubber duck" antenna, will significantly increase
both receiving and transmitting
performance only in the direction this antenna is aimed. BUT, doing so would put your radiated power well above that tranceiver's FCC legal radiated power limit.
