[Long story](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/newbie-gateway-with-linux-box-eu-greece/28200) short: Maybe it’s better to go for the [nfuse SX1302](https://www.n-fuse.co/devices/SX1303-LoRaWAN-Concentrator-Card-mini-PCIe.html). Double the channels, less watts (heat). But it’s untested from me.

I am operating the SX1308, it’s fine. But I didn’t tested the downlinks.
