Does gateway use only primary or only secondary or both.
How does the primary and secondary work? Does it use both of them together or does it use only one at a time If only one, how does it choose which one to use?

I’ve got a question for you Bond. Since you got the you-know-what installed, are you on the same band pair all the time?
I am on the same band pair all the time and that’s by my design.
Before I had the can in the NW window getting the .5 mile W B66 ok and the 2 mile n71 very poor if at all. Why the B66 was so cappy being on .5 miles I don't know but it just was not that great.
The plan all along was to get ahold of the n41 tower that was just upgraded 3 miles to the SW. That's why the can got moved to the S window and the you know what is just outside that window pointed right at the n41 tower. Being outside it also seems to grab the B66 quite well to the W even though it is not pointed in that direction. And by design the roof of the house blocks the signal from the n71 tower to the NW.
So far the can is holding the n41 and B66 solid and that's what I was out to do. I do not want the can to pickup the n71 since that is an older tower that has not been upgraded. So far so good let's see as weather changes and time goes by.
