The dish replaces the standard antenna on the 18R or 18R2, and provides a +8 dBm gain. You can use the antenna on any COBRA device that uses an antenna. This translates to an additional 300 - 600 ft. (100 to 200m). Although your range is increased, the dish antenna can also be helpful for close range situations where you don't have direct line-of-sight, or you don't wish to raise your modules or antennas.

You can also use the dish antenna directly on your modules for situations where a single module may be a significant distance away. For example, you may use the standard antenna on the 18R or 18R2, and then use a dish antenna on the modules pointing in the direction of the shooter. This allows the standard 18R or 18R2 antenna (360 degree) to broadcast signal in all directions. Then, the module uses the dish antenna to point directly to the shooter and improve the quality of communications for that module only.
