Is one transmit and the other receive?
Or are they both transmit and receive?

They're normally both transmit and receive.

That's a shame. Here in Israel we are limited to
100mw EIRP, which severly limits the transmit
antenna. There is NO limitation on the receive antenna.

A receive antenna has no EIRP, it doesnt radiate any real power.

Actually, when properly matched, it radiates half the received power.

True, but it's such a low level as to normally be considered insignificant.

Which is what I said in different words.

Unfortunately some take that to mean there is none.

The word REAL was used for a reason.

If there were none, a Yagi antenna which used all passive
elements save for the driven element would not work. On
receive that driven element plays an active (pardon the pun) roll.

Having fun thrashing that straw man are you ?
