@gohan I missed the * in the wiring of the PA radio and wired it to the GPIO 3.3V pin; I had assumed that since the gateway was getting the one node solidly/all the time and the other nodes not at all, there must have been an issue other than power. I must say, the power issue is mentioned often enough on MySensors.org that I should have tried that solution a long time ago.
Thanks again.
