What relative gain do you think the two antennas have?

Are you still talking about isotropic antennas, or have you moved on to
accommodate other patterns?

How do you conclude that the receiving gain of your hypothetical antenna
is different from the transmitting gain?

Now for a paradox.....


If RX==TX as for as antenna gain

And 100W is 100W.... then isotropic had dBi =0 be the laws of
conservation of energy.....


No suppose we have an antenna that captures all of the energy passing
though a 1M square.......

Now make that a 10M square.....


Clearly a 10M "Fishing net" can capture more than a 1M net, but

Then RXgain != TXgain


So what gives where is this wrong?
