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.

    I do have to ask, why is the left antenna connected to the right circuit board and the right antenna to the left circuit board?

      In terms of layout, there were a few decisions. For antennas, it’s because I didn’t want to put too tight of a bend in either cable, preventing a crimp. Not sure if it matters. Likewise, the rak boards are pushed up as far as I can to keep enough room to easily access the USB ports should I need serial access.

        That’s some really good forethought especially for something that will be in the cold

      Stupid question… Why does your left side of your brain control your right side of the body and vice versa, duuh!?..
