Jim - I have never really written down anything on sig strength etc... When we was at GOBER TX which is not a good place for signals even from VERIZON I really had problems with the mifi sitting in the truck which has the small stuby antenna. When we setup the POPUP and moved the MIFI to the longer antenna if worked great..
Of course the Trailer antenna was five feet more up in the air which probably helped too...
We use the MIFI in the truck alot for internet connections using the tablets going down the main roads and that does a great job too. Every now and then it drops out but comes right back. Probably very much the same as using the cellphone in this case...
That photo is somewhat misleading too. The antenna is probably only 15-inches tall maybe less than that... My stubby antenna is 4-5 inches tall I guess and is maybe only a 3db gain rateing... The longer antenna says it is a 6.12 db gain...
Double the height and double the gain always has to work better hehe...
