In the GTA (Canada) we have a shit ton of nodes but due to the environment it’s very hard to get far before you run out of hops. This node allows many nodes in a 15km radius to talk to each other or bounce to downtown with 1 hop. It’s elevated on a balcony. Also this module has much more sensitive receive stage so the increase in signal strenght is similar in both rx and tx.
The second connector is an unused SMA. That said I was planning to do a 2-node setup with low and high gain antennas, on the opposite ends of the box. 🤭 Fortunately this 5dBi antenna performs well enough for near nodes to not need a low gain supplementation.
