Trunking CB.. funny! One of my favorites is the Jo Gunn CB antennas.. here's the specs they give for a 4 element yagi:
TYPE: Horz. & Vert. Polarization
GAIN: 15.5 DB
FRONT TO BACK RATIO: 45 DB True
SIDE REJECTION: 45-50 DB True
BACK REJECTION: 45 DB True
WEIGHT: 20 lbs.
LENGTH: 12 feet
SWR: 1.1
WIND SURVIVAL: 100 MPH
POWER MULTIPLICATION: 50X
AUDIO GAIN: 19 DB
WIND LOAD: 3.0
That must be 15.5 dB gain referenced to using a potato as an antenna, I have no idea what "DB True" means, and "audio gain" on an antenna? huh?

Jack,
That's a true classic. I put it in my permanent file for
future laughs.
