Ok I am starting to understand and see things much clearer, thanks to you guys. Last question, can you post a link to a site that sells a RX only amp?

Also when you say:

deciBels are logorithmic reference, where the basic unit is 1.0 mW. Therefore a 3dB increase is a doubling in power. The examples you cited work out to:
24dB = 250 mW
27dB = 500 mW
30dB = 1.0 W

Do you mean if I currently receive my AP at 60dBI signal strenght using my orinoco gold card and a 5dBI omni, I can expect to gain 24dB in signal strenght using a amp, making it 36dB final signal strenght??
