The LHGG-LTE18 has an m.2 slot and a R11mL-EG18-EA, this could be replaced with the R11mL-RG502Q-EA or similar

RM500U-CN looks tempting:

Yeah, that would be a nice replacement in an LHGG. Are you going to buy one and test it out for us?   The EM12-G I have installed is doing quite well. I couldn't justify changing it for a while.  I am not even sure my local mast has 5G enabled on it yet.  I don't understand why Mikrotik haven't released an LHGG device with 5G yet?

I've got a LHGG and want to order an RM502Q for 229usd or the RM520N for 205usd. would have it in a few weeks and will post my results. can't decide which modem to buy, anyone got a preference?

While setting up, I tried a few CA combinations with the Eir prepay SIM and found that the EP06-E does not appear to support Band 1+3 CA, at least not with Eir.  It would aggregate either band with band 28 fine.  With just bands 1 and 3 enabled, it connected on band 1 only.

One thing to beware of is that you will need to attach all 4 antenna ports on the modem to avoid possible damage from the modem attempting to transmit on a detached antenna port.  The LHGG dishes have two U.FL antenna connections, so you will need two additional antennas (e.g. U.FL to SMA pigtails) for the other two ports.

Bought the second one to rule out a hardware issue but they both had the same problems...  So many issues, I might hook them up and update them and sell them both.  What would you sell them for do you think?
