Hello,

Gain figures are often false and misleading - in the UK if you had told
CBers a certain aerial had 10dB gain - they would all buy one. It's just a
number plucked from the air in most cases.

From time to time an antenna manufactures will state that an antenna
has "unity gain". It is my understanding that this term is used for
describing antennas used in mobile applications and is referenced to
the gain of a quarter-wave whip.

Does anyone know of any instances where this term is used otherwise?
