Make sure you try a low dBi antenna. Some of us have found worse results with 5dBi+ antennas compared to 2dBi.

What antenna are you using?

I'm a ham radio nerd and antennas are fascinating to me

Its a RAK 5.8dBi Fiberglass Antenna I got from Rokland. I'm just getting into all of this recently so I've got a lot to learn, but it's a fun process!
