By relevance- Glossary
Gain
Gain describes the ratio of output to input level. In a receiver it can occur before or after digitisation and is often expressed in dB.

Antenna gain, dBi and EIRP
Gain describes direction and a reference, not an additional energy source.
- Learning
Gain, AGC and overload
Why maximum gain does not mean best reception, and how to check a receiving chain systematically.
- Learning
Use gain deliberately
Louder is not always clearer. Distinguish audio level, gain and overload.
- Glossary
AGC
Automatic Gain Control adjusts gain according to signal level, reducing differences between weak and strong signals at the output.

Understand the signal path
From antenna to audio: explore loss, gain, filtering and volume in an explicitly simulated receive chain.
- Glossary
dB / decibel
Decibels express a ratio logarithmically. For power, use 10 · log₁₀(P₂/P₁), allowing gains and losses in a chain to be added.
- Tools
EIRP & ERP
Combine transmit power, feed-line loss and antenna gain.
- Icom
HM-153LS
Compact earphone microphone with adjustable microphone gain for the ID-52E Plus.
- Tools
Link budget
Follow transmit power, gains and losses to the receiver.
- Albrecht
AE Skyscan Mag 1300
Its broad frequency range describes reception coverage; it does not establish uniform gain across the range or a transmit rating.
- Learning
Antenna height and radio horizon
Transmit power and antenna gain do not enter the horizon calculation: they do not change geometric horizon, though they can affect whether a particular link is usable.
