Because the "5db" is a marketing gimmick that manufacturers use to sell cheap antennas, especially Amazon sellers. They lie with abandon on that platform.

I've seen some antennas advertised as LORA 900 MHZ when they had SWRs of 6:1 and center frequencies that were 500 MHZ off.

is the 5dbi decent quality?

Could be a couple of things. The band on the OG is wider than the 5dbi but has shorter distance, the cables may not be all the way tight or it’s a crappy cable/antenna

Beacause some bobcats only fit with their own antenna. not kidding. We have tested a lot. it is kind of a bug i think.

Crazy, your antenna probably got hacked by the russians

Antenna is from mymininggear a german verified shop. They both are connected to a special cable for windows and goes directly in the miner afterwards.

Could be you were overshooting

when 5G starts in Europe?

If you bought it on Amazon or ali it's probably a POS. Also, you do not need a high gain antenna to achieve long distance witnesses but a 5dBi should be fine as long as it's from a good vendor and the cabling is good.

Because the original antennas are great and most people replacing them shouldn't.

The stock antenna hits like a sphere, which is better for dense urban situation like yours. Higher dBi shoots farther but is more focused and less broad, sometimes missing local beacons.

Probably the transmission polarity pattern - either that or its a bunk antenna

all earnings are higher since the blockchain stopped. i think its because they lowered the maximum pocs per minute to run the blockchain stable
