a 36 dBi antenna would be more than 6 feet ( 2M ) across

that USB cable is capable of delivering 5 VDC X 100 mA = 500 mW, and they get 3800 mW out of it how?

a 3800 dBm transceiver would be the size of a VHS recorder

if this does what it says it does, it was built someplace where the laws of physics are very different from here on earth

That is not an "antenna", it is a complete USB wireless thingy.

I don't care if it shows three antennas. The two stick antennas might be 5 dBi, but that center one is *NOT* 25 dBi.

I suspect it is nothing more than a 27 dBm transmitter (but I really doubt it's that strong) and a single active 5 dBi antenna. That's 32 dBm.

That is worth about $35 USD.

I know this product. His power is larger than the average. But 36dbi is exaggerated. He is a 500mW of peak power (actually only 100mW). With a directional antenna. But such a small directional antenna. No more than 10dBi gain.
