* Most antenna manufacturers rate antenna gain in dBd in their litera-
ture. To convert to dBi, add 2.15 dB.
† Feedline loss varies by cable type and length. To determine the loss
for common lengths of feedline, see Table 5-1 on Page 107.
For assistance in the conversion of dBm to Watts, please see
dBm-WATTS-VOLTS CONVERSION CHART on Page 112.
