so basically, for every 3db you boost on one ap, you have to reduce 1 db on the other, effectively getting one AP above 4watts. i think.
these antennas are spected out at 60 watts max. now at 60 watts i might have the FCC knocking on my door

1 watt should be more than enough to reach 3 miles. and the 1 watt bi-direction amps are less than $100. plus they are engineered to withstand outdoor conditions!

sounds perfect for my application
