I'm new here and have, what I hope is a quick question, with a quick answer of yes, you can do that, no problem. But lets leave that up to the more experienced.
I have a possible 3 nodes inline (less than 2 degrees off line). The AP SITE is the highest elevation and the 2 CPR sites are at lower elevations at the tops of rolling hills in the area.
I tried to use airLink to do a PtMP simulation on this but do not see the option of having the AP SITE to be a NanoStation. I used 10dBi Rocket M2 AMO-2G10 for the AP SITE and NanoStation Loco M2 for both CPE sites.
Below is the Simulation. The middle CPE site is at the top of the hill at 4.7km. All looks good and no terrain within the 1st fresnel zone on both. There is also a 3rd CPE site off by 10 degrees at a distance of 12km away also with a good 1st fresnel zone.
Is it possible to have more than 1 node connected to a NanoStation Loco?

The Nanostation line is more often used as CPE (customer side) while a Rocket and Sector are at the "tower" side so you may be hitting a calculator limit on the Ubiquiti website. Personally I use Radio Mobile to model the links.
Personal opinion: You may also want to consider NanoStation M2's instead of Nanostation Loco M2's as they have higher gain and transmit power which could increase link quality. Not required but just a suggestion.
