Antenna two U.FL antenna connectors for diversity function

Remark: please make sure to install two antenna on these two antenna ports. For single antenna application, 1). select "antenna diversity off" mode in AP code or NDIS driver or or 2). one 50 Ohm terminator installation on the other antenna port is required. This is a high-power module, PA will be damaged and cause DC-shorted if leave antenna port open during transmission.
