Yes,  when you get some answers,  please post!!  Also the antenna
model programs  give answers in dBi!!  Of course,  these are 
always high, because dBi is always a free space number (I think),
and if the manufacturer is including the ground reflection gain,  he
really gets a big number if he is referring to dBi;  at least
I think.  So I am also confused.
