Well I have 1 Main Router with 2 peers on the same Eth port, I receive routes from 1, but not from the 2nd. Im using the same area for both, different networks (2 /30) All are Mt 3.23 with routing test, the only difference is that the 2 exchanging routes are rb1000, the other one is a x86

Does the x86 exchange with the non-main router? If it can route to it, they should exchange. If it doesn't, check all the settings on the x86 again. Area number is good. Router number is unique. Authentication is correct. Any of those can make it not work. You could turn on OSPF in logging

My view is that once certified with a specific antenna then a system is legal with any antenna of similar type (panel, yagi, etc.) of equal of lesser gain. Anybody can make the decision to substitute a similar type but lower gain antenna. I ran this by the FCC last year and they confirmed it.
