It's gain. Here are the characteristics:

Forward Gain 10 dB At 502MHz
11,5 dB At 600MHz
13 dB At 700MHz
14dB At 806MHz

Return Loss > 12 dB

Cross-Polar Protection > 22 dB

Gain in DbD or Dbi ??? its meaningless unless its quoted over a dipole or isotropic

Return loss is not that good either would like to see at least 20db

Noted. This thread is for what antennas and who supplies them. You are most welcome to view the antenna at DTV Solutions and satisfy yourself either way.
