so I get a high dbi antenna for long range in a high place, but also a low dbi one to service everyone in the area? or that’s too much and not needed?

    that’s the idea, but those boards can’t handle dual antennas (i think they can’t, the peak of my skills is being able to spell meshtastic)

        not sure, I put a 9dbi antenna on top of a 3 storey building, and in theory I shouldn’t be able to get a signal underneath it. yet I do get good signal.

        I genuinely have to idea what I’m doing, but I’m learning

          Yeah you don’t need short and long range typically. Maybe if it was directional you would need a 2nd one.
