I'm buying a Window Gap Jumper that has a 1.8dB loss at 900-1300MHz.
For any of you that know about this kind of thing, is that going to be significant?
Am I going to notice a lot less aircraft/signal etc?
-3db = 1/2 your signal gone. dB's are logarithmic and I don't have a calc for 1.8dB.
As to whether you'll notice - that depend on how much signal you have before the loss insertion. If you get one put it as near the antenna as possible.
ok thanks.. will do.
Assuming I just used the calculator correctly, I can expect about a 25% loss.
I guess we'll have to try it and see.
