As I recall from memory (I read the Batwing/Batman/Jack thread when it was posted) NOTHING beat the WIngman enhanced Batwing..
He tested the sensar both with and without the Wingman
And he tested the Jack. Using high quality Electronics lab equipment and measured signal strength.. At it's very best. the Jack was still half (3dB down) the antenna the Batwing was.. that was in the configuration that most favored the Jack.
Of course in the configuration most favoring the Wingman.. Someting like 7dB difference. (Batwing delivered over 4 times the signal)
What is dB: (deci-bell or 1/10th of a Bell) well... A logrythmic scale 10^e
So 3db is 10^0.3 (10 raised to the 3/10th power) or about 2.
You can use your calculator (Scientific mode) to figure out what 7DB is (about 5 times the power)
