I am trying to find out if the performance claims on the GAM SS-2
antenna could be accurate. http://www.gamelectronicsinc.com/mini.html
I found 2 reviews that rated this antenna #1 for a vhf short marine
antenna.
One was by Powerboat Reports
http://www.powerboat-reports.com/pub...es/4722-1.html .
And the other was by Practical Sailor
http://www.gamelectronicsinc.com/practical.html

I spoke with the manufacturer and he said the gain on this antenna is
6db or 5.1dbi. Is this possible or not possible from a 35" whip base
load antenna? If it could be possible, then under what conditions
would it be possible to get that type of gain from an antenna this
size?

I plan on calling the manufacturer back. What would be some good
questions to ask to find out the true performance of this antenna?

Thanks,
Doug
