Dual node Meshtastic and MeshCore. I think both networks have their benefits, and now I don’t have to choose. We’ll see how two nodes does in the winter. But right now a single solar panel is plenty to keep the battery constantly topped up.

    Those antenna are so close for being on the same frequency. Quarter wavelength is typical, right? Maybe one out the top and one out the bottom?

      Yea, it’s definitely not ideal for a high traffic repeater. My area’s got pretty minimal traffic, so I don’t expect there’s enough traffic to cause interference right now. When I get to a V3, I’ll probably be upgrading to a wider enclosure to get better spacing. The same company has a 200mm tall box I could mount horizontal, and put the antennas on the long side.
