Greetings, someone could tell me that this is this antenna( Radar-Rama External Antenna 5dBi gain for RadarBox) think fit it on the edge of the window of my apartment, since I can not mount it on the roof, thank you.

Hi Gonz, don't pay too much attention to the claims of 5dB over the so called 'i'sotropic antenna as it doesn't really mean very much, you could well be better off with the SSE 1090 antenna or a RadarExtender.  Almost any tuned antenna will give several dB gain over the theoretical isotropic!   Some will swear by one type and someone else by another.   Most of these proprietary antennas are very much of a muchness, sorry if that's not much help!!

Hi Gonz, which one have you gone for - the Radar Rama?

I bought this antenna, but I have not yet installed it, by some comments, I think that it is not as good as they say, what you think your this antenna?
