So I have a dumb question.. the dual antennas... are they used as diversity antennas with mesh or is one trransmit and one receive? I could envision two directional antennas to extend the range but I have not seen anything on this website that might give a hint.

Two different antennas, such as one directional, and one stock antenna are quite common, so I presume diversity mode is the normal setup.

I'm not part of the development team, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm also easily confused.

Check out the free Wireless Networking Book

The antenna use is software configured on one of the configuration pages.  Set for separate TX and RX or Diversity mode.  Diversity is the default.  It is common to have two different types of of antennas on a mesh node.
