Notes
Compared with Station G2:
- Separately replaceable motherboard, MCU and RF boards.[1]
- Four jumper-selected PA settings.[1][2]
- An LNA with adjustable gain, impedance matching and bypass control.[1][2]
Check the LNA P jumper on arrival: fitted means LNA off; removed means on. LNA on improves sensitivity in quiet locations; off may improve SNR in noisy locations. A cavity filter can help with strong out-of-band interference.[2]
The complete node includes the motherboard, BQESP32V1M ESP32-S3 host with 1.3-inch OLED, BQ35LORA900V1M RF daughterboard, and a US915 or EU868 antenna.[1][2] The $99 RF daughterboard and $129 motherboard/RF bundle are component options, not complete nodes: the RF board needs the motherboard and an MCU, while the bundle still needs an MCU and antenna.[5][6] A Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is an advanced alternative host; BQ does not provide official support for that configuration. The comparison fields describe the complete ESP32-S3 configuration.[2]
The 35 dBm rating is non-boost output; indicative boost measurements vary by region.[1][2] BQ lists an 815–940 MHz operating range, while the package description specifies 850–930 MHz.[1] Requires a separate 15 V USB-C PD or 9–19 V DC supply rated at least 25 W; a USB cable and power supply are not included.[2][1]
