[Ham-80211] diversity space or not

[Frank]

The diversity on most of the less expensive gear does not do "real"
diversity. On the Senao and probably the Linksys, one port is TX/RX and the
other RX only. I've not found an advantage with having two antennas. I've
used the Senao for links beyond 15 miles with 18dbi panel antennas (one
antenna on each end).

Can you describe what you are trying to accomplish?
