By relevance
  1. 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.

  2. Learning

    Antenna gain, dBi and EIRP

    Gain describes direction and a reference, not an additional energy source.

  3. Learning

    Gain, AGC and overload

    Why maximum gain does not mean best reception, and how to check a receiving chain systematically.

  4. Learning

    Use gain deliberately

    Louder is not always clearer. Distinguish audio level, gain and overload.

  5. Glossary

    AGC

    Automatic Gain Control adjusts gain according to signal level, reducing differences between weak and strong signals at the output.

  6. Tools

    Understand the signal path

    From antenna to audio: explore loss, gain, filtering and volume in an explicitly simulated receive chain.

  7. 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.

  8. Tools

    EIRP & ERP

    Combine transmit power, feed-line loss and antenna gain.

  9. Icom

    HM-153LS

    Compact earphone microphone with adjustable microphone gain for the ID-52E Plus.

  10. Tools

    Link budget

    Follow transmit power, gains and losses to the receiver.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.
