It's about 7 dB. That amount of gain is not insignificant. Particularly when
signals are weak.

The difference between 100 and 500 watts is about 6dB, or ~2-3 S-units
at the receivers location. For mobile I personally don't see investing
the money or time. However for "well" equipping a portable station,
like activating rare grids that's different.
