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

This is the antenna I have been looking for. I plan to purchase more! It is resonant on 906.875mhz where North America uses Meshtastic. Get this!

I tested the antenna just by itself (using the venerable NanoVNA), without any metal groundplane and it was very well matched to US915 LoRa, ISM band! Maybe a little on the high side (too short), but the SWR was less than 1.3 across the band. At the best it practically 1.0 SWR just outside the band. I then added a small metal ground plane about 2.5" square and the SWR was still under 1.3 or 1.4 in the band. I then deployed a RAK4631 with an 850mAh Lipo cell and a little 5.5V, 250mA solar panel and on a nearby hilltop near Taos, NM and was blown away to receive pings from nodes in Albuquerque!?! Truly amazing antenna! I had the same rig up there but using the flat PC board antenna that RAK sells with the Meshtastic starter kit and it has a good SWR but it just was not pulling them in like this sucker does!Def be buying more of these!

Much better antenna than the one the T-Echo comes with. However, it doesn't seat against the T-Echo case, so it's not as strong, physically. I molded some epoxy around the base, to protect from moisture and strengthen things, but that's a more permanent fix than many folks may want. Also, of course, this longer antenna doesn't fit in pockets as well, and you could poke your eye with it.

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!

Antenna is flexible and well built, but most importantly it is very well matched to the us 915mhz band commonly used with LoRa radios. SWR is below 1.5 from 902-928 mhz which is a significant improvement over the folding "wifi" style antennas which typically exhibit a very poor SWR. Efficiency seems quite good as I'm picking up many more contacts on my meshtastic node even indoors. Can definitely recommend this antenna for LoRa and meshtastic and will likely be buying more in the future.

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.

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

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