Judging from our Cabin 28 repeater (which so far works “well enough”), I believe that just splitting the channels so there’s only one repeater per gateway will help a lot. Unfortunately cutting tree branches and trenching aren’t practical here, nor is much expense, so I’ll just take it step by step and hopefully enjoy how it improves. Thanks for the ideas… :)
