LoRa - no GPS :-(

A significant proportion of the LoRa APRS packets my iGate half-way recognises are broken and get logged as CRC errors. Maybe a little more power at the far end would push them over the edge into clean readable packets here.

…mind, so might a better antenna, but then I’d likely be trading against the omni-directional nature of the present colinear.

An amplifier on the receive keeps the transmission low power and should add a bit of range.
