I'm in need of some gain antennas for my (HamWAN inspired) High speed 5.8 GHz backbone experiment. While I'm sure there's one in my future; the 30 db, $100 BBQ dish recommended is too big, too much gain and too many dollars. So - that brought me to the 20 dBi, $50 panels at Fab-Corp:
How did you come to the 20 dBi figure? Have you considered using the 30 dBi antennas and minimum power necessary? What is your beamwidth requirement? If small form factor is your primary requirement, I'd be inclined to get something from the SXT series: http://routerboard.com/RBSXT5HPnD Tom KD7LXL
