How much better is a 1/2 wave antenna to a 1/4 wave antenna?

Question:

Or would I be better off getting a cheaper, but higher dbi antenna like the one found here. http://www.8starshop.com/en/24g-16dbi-sma-female-wifi-lan-omni-antenna-for-router.html

Answers:

The 1/4 wave antenna is superior. Half wave antennas do not radiate well because of the lobe location. 5/8 wave vertical antennas radiate well and have a higher field angle. The 1/4 wave has a low field angle. If you want to communicate through a mountain-top repeater, the 5/8 wave is the best. If you want to communicate horizontally close to the ground, like from car to car, the 1/4 wave wins.

In general, the higher dB gain an antenna has the better it will be.

Question:

Also, my scalp is sensitive. Is it because I've never really brushed my hair before, and have just recently started?

Answers:

It could cause serious problems if the larvae gets into your blood stream...depending on the bug, it could be fatal. Get it checked immediately.

It may not be serious at all, but even though you may have found insects bodies, they could have already laid eggs in the skin tissue and every time you walk, the eggs go deeper in...that why i suggest you get it checked, better now than later when its too late. I do hope its nothing though.

What might be wrong with radio?

Question:

I have a 95 Chevy Blazer and installed a factory CD/Radio player in it. It work for quite, then all of a sudden the radio quick working. The CD player still works. I can hear a faint signal from a local radio station come through otherwise just static. Would the antenna have gone bad? Never heard of it happening before, but who know? Just trying to get some ideas before I take off dash, and pull the radio out and see if there's a loose connection from antenna. The antenna is connected from under hood, even unpulled it apart and checked for any loose connection and it's all good! Any help is great! And I know I could go buy a new radio, but if that's not the problem, then waste of money.

Answers:

I think you should take the radio out and plug the antenna wire back in. See how you tried the bigger problems before the easy ones? Always do it one step at a time.

Bundle of wires that plugs into back of cd player?

Question:

i installed my cd player and the radios coming in as static, so i figured i have to fix the antenna little wire...

Answers:

Hope this helps..

Generally, the antenna is a fat black cable. You might check with a stereo shop, the feedback could be electrical interference from the engine affecting the reception. They can show you how to cure it.
