I replaced my DIY Single Channel gateway with a new [IMST Lite Gateway](https://www.bjoerns-techblog.de/2017/08/imst-lite-gateway/). The performance, compared to the DIY gateway, is perfect. Now i only need to find the perfect loaction. The DIY gateway is now located at home.

My conclusions:
Single Channel Gateways are ok for testing but not more. The performance is much less than a real gateway.
