LoRa distance amplifier

Here is my post from another thread today regarding an amp I am testing:

TTG Lora32 V2.1 ESP32 Power Amplifier 4W

Howdy all, Here is the amp I am messing around with, it is a bi-directional amp and its supposed to automatically switch between transmit and receive mode based on the what is being supplied at the input, the Meshtastic LoRa devices I am using seem to be with in spec to properly activate it. The problem I am having is I get almost zero reception with it in place? The transmission seems to be working well and it really improves the range. Any idea why I might have trouble with this blocking…
