The previous quick and dirty design had one significant weakness: the antenna connection. I've replaced it with a sturdy 3D printed antenna holder in two diameters, for 3 dBi and 5 dBi sticks. Plus some epoxy resin, plus some silicone. The new design spent a week outside during heavy rain season now and seems to be working.

And I have an actual real-world use, relevant to my line of occupation: these two will be base stations for an underground Meshtastic network which I plan to test for cave communications and cave rescue. No solar panels down there, but if a smaller variant can hold for a few days on a single charge, possibly in super-sleep mode, that will do the job.

@kravietz 🦇 Plik #3d do tego uchwytu antenowego jest gdzieś dostępny ? Bo mam taką samą antenę.
