It's antenna problem. You have interferences between chains. From my experience - you can try to isolate pigtails near ufl connectors. Or try something like this: [img]image%20not%20quoted[/img] This card has a SMA-connector. Interferences near connectors are much lower than within ufl-type cards. ...
