back to antennas

coax, pigtails, and couplers:




LoRa runs at 800MHz (EU) / 900MHz (US) so you need to make sure you're using the right coax for any long
runs. Most radios will use UFL (2mm) connectors. If you don't know how to attach UDL, don't just press
down on it and try to force it, go watch a video on how to hook and drop so you don't damage your pigtail or
your radio.

Most outdoor antennas will have a type-N Female on them, and most coax will be type-N male on both ends.
Most radios will have UFL, so you'll need to adapt at some point. One handy place is on the node box,
where you can have a bulkhead pigtail that is N-Female outside the box with a UFL lead on the inside.
