No, it is not that at all, but if you have a reference to the antenna
you describe, I would be interested. This is wider and a higher frequency.

The antenna I was refering to is knon as an ATCRBS antenna or an SSR
antenna. I coouldnt find a lot of info right off but there were a lot
of references t oIEEE xplorer. If you belong to that Im sure you can
find some information.

Like chess? send me an email and I will connect you will a friend who
has been known to give a challenging game or two.

The antenna I discred has a gain of about 20 Dbd and the far field doesnt
form up at 2Km like I said. Monitoring devices shuold be at least 2km awy to
make sure they are in the far field so my guess would be about 1/2 that
distance.
