Meshtastic 915MHz LoRa Antenna 10dBi Gain. Long Range Soft Whip Antenna, 17cm Omni SMA Male 1Pcs, Black

I have never had good performance from the stubby antennas on Meshtastic nodes and wanted a better option. This rubber duck style antenna has been a great upgrade. I ordered one to test on one of my nodes and after swapping out the stubby antenna for this one I could immediately see improved range performance with with more direct connections with other nodes in my area versus the hops that were previously required. For the price it was a worthy upgrade, I ended up ordering a second one for my other node.

Works great

I got this to upgrade the stock antenna that came with a LoRa device. I've actually got a couple of these now, and they are a big improvement over the stock antennas.

I used two of these, both with Heltec V3's- one with an extended magnet mount. I was able to glean exactly 5mi (just outside of line of sight) when receiving a range test, with the receiver having the magnetic base and on slot 69 (919MHz). I bought a few more- I don't know if it's overzealous of me because I am learning at a quick rate, but the physical quality of the antenna combined with obvious functionality did it for me. Look for the golden wolf- not the printed sticker!

I have upgraded all my radios to use this. Beats the stock antenna.Great performance, good size.

Tuned right around 930 MHz. Good performance for Meshtastic frequencies too

Right size. Fits correctly. Works properly. Unable to verify signal quality or strength but looks like good value and reliability for a fair price.

Pros: it's well-tuned for the 902-928 MHz ISM band, and works well with handheld Meshtastic radios using LoRa radios tuned to that frequency. It's flexible, easy to attach, and seems to be a good quality.Cons: it's definitely not 10 dBi gain. Comparably-sized antennas of similar design are typically 3-5 dBi.Also, the connector at the bottom is not a standard SMA connector, but rather "SMA compatible". Specifically, SMA male connectors have the male pin extent only ~2 mm from the PTFE insulation. When mated to the SMA female connector, the faces of the insulation touch and provide a consistent impedance for radio waves. This antenna has an SMA-diameter screw connector but the internal central pin is much longer and doesn't have the insulation that a standard SMA connector has. It's "close enough" for my purposes, but could be problematic for others and definitely should have been mentioned in the description.
