Known issues and cautions
From the maker's documentation and the official Meshtastic docs.
- Meshtastic docs: the Station G2 is discontinued and no longer available for purchase.
- 35 dBm PA: Meshtastic power ceiling for US is 30 dBm; FCC Part 15.247 limits conducted power to 1 W with antenna gain over 6 dBi requiring reduction (see reference.json).
