Paul, thanks for some good info. One more question, does the brick use the
same stub antennas as the portable? If not, can the brick antennas be used
with the portable (i.e. remotely)

Hi Karl,

The Brick units are using a new antenna type. I don't have any photos of it
yet and haven't held one in my hands. I've heard it is a bit large, but
works great. I'm pretty sure it would work great with a PowerFLARM
Portable. But getting one of the Brick antennas for use with a Portable is
not the only fix required for the range issue. It is my understanding that
all Portable units will need to be sent in for hardware upgrades. But that
has not been finalized yet. I imagine it will be very soon.

I already have antenna extension cables for remotely positioning the
existing PowerFLARM Portable antennas. You can see links to them he
