Single Channel Gateways

I'm still learning about LoRa, but I understand the difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN.  For my application I'm fine with a single channel LoRa gateway.
I saw the example of using a Whisper Node (LoRa) with a UART interface to a Raspberry Pi for a simple gateway.  talk2-contact-sensor-nodes-rpi-base-station-t2.html#p30

I was wanting to know if either of these are equivalents to that.

They both use the RFM95 modules.  I assume radio modules from other manufacturers may have other proprietary features that would stop them from working with the Whisper Node (LoRa) but since these use the same base module I wasn't sure.  I guess there could still be differences in radio settings between these and what you offer.

Thanks,
Robin

The Radio Hardware is supposed to be compatible between all products you listed. The all seem to use RF95 modules, which is based on the Semtech SX1276 chip.
