The Flat Panel and Yagi antennas are both high gain focused signal antennas, both on transmit and on receive. Both antennas are designed for permanent outdoor use and pole mounting. Both antennas ship with an antenna extension coaxial cable with a RP-SMA connector compatible with all RaceAmerica wireless hardware. Pricing is about the same, too.
So what is the difference? Outside of the physical design difference and a more modern look to the Flat Panels, the Flat Panels have a slightly more focused signal and higher gain than the Yagi counterparts. This results in a stronger RF signal and allows for greater distances between antennas.
