Are you trying to set this up to do a wireless bridge?

The small dbi gain on the send seems to not give you a very far range
to push.  How far are you trying to go with this.  Keep in mind that
the higher gain antennas are much more focused so they have a narrower
sweet spot were as the lower gain has a much broader sweet spot.
