"I have two thinknode m1 devices that i am planning to use in Europe soon - they have a us 915MHz antenna, is is possible to configure them in 868MHz and still have good performance?
Alternatively, is is possible to purchase a 868MHz from you?"

Answer:
"I'm sorry. This antenna on our devices is not sold separately.

You can consider purchasing our another product below:

Considering you will be using it with the M1/M5, please select the version shown in the image below.

Also, you can configure M1 in 868MHz. Different antennas may have different performance."

Problem with GPS. 3845 GPS location is good accurate.
7d66 with GPS always NOT accurate and always show up 1.2 miles away in the same place when at home location.
Why is this, how to correct this or is this unit defective?
Both firmwares are out of the box as 2.6.5.0d800b7. Should i update to 2.7.15.567b8 ?
