The Mosley Pro? Good grief.
As far as the Force 12 antennas, you can use their 'net gain' figures to
compare them with the antennas in our report since their figures basically
corollate to our findings.
For other antennas (i.e., KT36XA), the figures are probably suspect since
they don't use our protocol for their published gain figures whereas F12
basically does.
