In order for your phone or radio to work, the antenna has to focus your signal just where you need it - in much the same way as a flashlight.
The gain of an antenna, shown in decibels, describes just how tightly focussed the signals will be. Some antennas can produce a “spotlight”, focussing on a narrow target but covering large distances.
Others produce a broad coverage area like a lantern. Generally, the higher the decibels of gain the better the range.
Higher gain is better for distance over flat terrain, lower gain for undulating ground or hilly terrain
