2PCS 915MHz LoRa Antenna 5DBi SMA Male with IP-X Connector Cable

This was the missing piece to my Meshtastic project. Once I connected and powered on, I was hitting nodes the stock antenna never saw. I like having the ability to bend, while I do not need it, it’s nice knowing it is there. Two for the price of one makes this a great deal.

These are well-tuned antennas for Meshtastic devices. According to my HAM buddy, his SDR indicates that these are nearly perfectly tuned at that frequency. The performance I have achieved in both transmission and receiving traffic is impressive. These work great for indoor and outdoor meshastic nodes.

I don't have any other LoRa antennas to compare to, but these are working very well for my little two-node Meshtastic system. I'm not trying to set any range records or anything, but signal strength across our 10-acre property has always been plenty strong. I like the inclusion of the U.FL adapter cables, though I haven't used them since I'm working with boards that have onboard SMA plugs. Still, it's a nice touch to widen compatibility without buying a bunch of extra adapters.

These antennas are great for any Meshtastic device as a replacement for the inferior default antenna that come with devices like the Tbeam or Heltec. Antennas seem to be well tuned for 915mhz and transmit much further than the default antennas. Good for the price.

Works great as a 915MHz antenna for meshtastic + meshcore UNTIL you fold it. Once you do that, the minimum VSWR point shifts up from 908MHZ to roughly 1050MHz. So it'll be fine for ISM band stuff if it's kept straight. Docking two points since I need a fold-able antenna that retains a good VSWR at it's target frequency when it's folded at 90 degrees

WARNING: This is not a 915mhz antenna. Just tested on my LiteVNA and it has a SWR of 2.8 @ 915mhz but 1.2 at 840mhz
