@@KateHikes1933 A Yagi antenna, also known as a Yagi-Uda antenna, works by using wave amplification to direct radio waves in a specific direction. This allows the antenna to receive and transmit signals over longer distances and with greater clarity than an omnidirectional antenna. Here's how a Yagi antenna works: Elements A Yagi antenna is made up of a long boom, a dipole, directors, and a reflector: Boom: The long pole that points in the desired direction Dipole: The active feed line that absorbs and radiates the signal Directors: Branch off from the boom at right angles, helping to direct the signal and provide power and gain Reflector: Sits behind the dipole, reflecting the signal in the opposite direction Wave amplification The directors and reflector work together to amplify the signal in one direction and reduce it in other directions. This is achieved by using phase cancellation, where the radio waves are carefully sized and spaced to reinforce each other in a specific direction. Directionality The Yagi antenna's directionality comes from the reflector blocking waves coming from the rear of the antenna. Yagi antennas are often used for rooftop television antennas, amateur radio, CB radio, and cell phone reception. They are directional, so they must be pointed directly at a signal source for optimal performance.

Dual Router Meshtastic Node

This is a Meshtastic LoRa Dual Router Node running on the 915Mhz Band.

What’s that mean?

It’s got 290 views. Not a lot but hey it’s handy info for those who want to learn

Same here. Solar node with 15 dB antenna up 40 feet. What are you putting up?

How dare you say that! My car is made entirely out of paper mache. Really though, same test with antennas mounted outside on my TWO external vehicle mounts yielded the same exact results. 😊😂

@ke6vdw lol. I believe ya. I have an alfa 915 but it didn't fair any better than the included pcb antenna on the RAK wizblock. But I think I got something else going on

Found it! 👍

@@ramonbennett8416 Thanks!

I have a 2020 Sorento I just bought and am trying to figure out mounting setups

@@onesimusiii ua-cam.com/video/-3C-41_3wvc/v-deo.htmlsi=s9lq_TZAFr3f8lKK Check out the video I posted this morning.

It’s a trunk-lip mount not a mag mount. Made by Diamond Antenna, model K400s. I have another video on my channel showing complete installation of it as well.

@@BVN-TEXAS all the dishes are in use with exception of maybe three. We regularly remove dishes when they are decommissioned

@@ramonbennett8416 thank you.

Thanks. I’m not sure. Ask him 😂

It would be the best if someone can send it to him over Meshtastic.

lol yes he saw it, said "THE BEARD STAYS"

​@@ke6vdw cool, sometimes I pick up your nodes but I'm too far to message

@@mick1991what part of town are you in? Maybe I can add more coverage there

I'm all the way in Temecula

@@KboxLabs I tested ten and only one was close-ish…. But still off.

It does seem the first direction handled better.. no noticeable movement. You are right, the backstroke did it in. I wonder why.. perhaps the Alfa cover was glued a bit better from the one side so it was able to physically handle it better from there. Thanks for watching and supporting my crazy hobby videos. I'm not a professional youtuber so your support helps. What I want the most is to share what I experience and hopefully that helps others.

@@ke6vdw keep the videos coming, we are all learning, caring, and sharing, out here. Really appreciate your videos. 👍😎

@@K38rescue I now need to know what deer whistles are? I will make an assumption that they are on your hood and whistle at deer to keep them off the road? Am I right?

@@sdjakeblues slurp!

Glad you enjoyed it. I tried to mix it up And make it fun

Yes! I have Gold Fever as does most my family.

@@NicholasHorvath thanks! I’ll be making more videos of my tower installs and other fun things.

To be announced soon

@@Tore_Lund works very well

@@ke6vdw Good to hear. Well if it is cellular and 5G from dishes, there must be a quiet spots on that mast.

We do not. We know Andy Kirby made a video about how people In the UK are all moving to that however that is not the right move in our opinion. For now stay in LongFast until newer methods are proven. We’re working on custom repeaters that can tie MediumFast to LongFast and more. Stay tuned.

@ke6vdw I experimented with LoRa years ago using a lora capable hamshield and lorachat on 440 mhz. Since you're likely familar with San Diego, I was able to TX/RX from my home in La Mesa (roughly university ave and 70th st at 500' above sea level), all the way down to the west corner of downtown (roughly C st and broadway 4th level of a parking garage). Done at only 1 watt, likely a bit less, but with maximum spread factor and bandwidth settings. Blew my mind. That's 9 miles direct through multiple freeway interchanges and ground elevation changes. It did require a good antenna and hardline at the house side, and band pass filters on both sides to knock the noise floor down. Both antennas were mono band folded dipoles. No yagi/directional was used.

Thank you! I had already set a record from Santa Barbara to Tijuana Mexico but for some reason they ignored it. I am excited to see how far this performs. Thanks for your support.

Did this, forgot to film will update with another video. SAME results.

I’m building a larger solar setup for it with a much larger battery, I’ll share the details as I build it.

Yeah, makes sense. You thinking of using solar panels as some of the walls for the radio enclosure?

@@GregCoreyTech No, just a large 100w panel.

15V USB PD or 9-19V DC. 20 or 30 watt on the power supply (by memory).

I’m consulting with the community and the Meshtastic team to see how best to setup the device. I want to make sure if possible that Im not sucking two hop counts out of peoples traces. It would penalize everyone by two hops or at least one hop (if they hit one Yagi only), but of course we don’t want it to do that if at all possible.

The bushes have since been cut back.
