Africa

[MDuperrier]

Thanks for the encouragement  I have placed the order with Egon, all items are in-stock so I expect only a couple weeks from now I should receive it.

I also noticed you have a couple units running in Africa - Do you perhaps have some photos of your installations and setup?

What kind of position does the Antenna require for best results?

I see some units are running older firmware'sres, no need to update those?

Hello, it's very nice to see you are onboarding. As soon as your station is up and registered, your status on the forum will be upgraded and you will have access to more forums. Many people have posted photos of their installation.
From my little personal experience, the 'quieter' place are the best. I had good success with a station in the basement. On the other hand, my autonomous house have a lot of interferences due to solar inverters (and I'm still working on this).
I have, indeed, deployed a few station in central Africa, one more to be switched-on soon in Togo and I'm trying to send another one in the Horn of Africa.
Your contribution from the south will be very much appreciated. By the way; someone in Pretoria (from this thread) still own a working red station 

Kind regards,
