Default PowerFlarm BRICK range issues - are we alone????

Andy, you are right, the antenna is not necessary the dipole
version.
I think that dipole antenna is omnidirectional, since it radiates
equally in all directions in plane. The radiation pattern should be
donut shape.
If antenna is 1/4 wave stick on ground plate, isn't the pattern a half
sphere?

A dipole is not omni-directional. The pattern of an ideal dipole in
free space is not sherical. Why do you believe that the antennas
delivered with FLARM are omni-directional?
