Default "Super Cantenna"

Has anyone had any luck with these? the ones from Wireless Garden
I got one, and no matter how i turn it, I get very weak signal. my
target is about 400' away line of sight, except my friends ap is not
right in the window (i can see the window from my window).

I'm using an ALFA AWUS036H 500mW usb adaper with a RP-SMA.
the cantenna claims 12 dBi, and has a 3' cable with RP-SMA
the ap, has just the built in antennas (belkin)

I can get a week signal, but I get just as good or better with my 2
dBi omni!

do to the card being hi power the ap can hear everything but the ALPA
Rx SNR must be very low.

thanks in advance
