Antenna Options
These radio breakouts do not have a built-in antenna. Instead, you have three options for attaching an antenna. For
most low cost radio nodes, a wire works great. If you need to put the radio into an enclosure, soldering in uFL and
using a uFL to SMA adapter will let you attach an external antenna. You can also solder an SMA edge-mount connector
directly
Wire Antenna
A wire antenna, aka "quarter wave whip antenna" is low cost and works very well! You just have to cut the wire down
to the right length.
Cut a stranded or solid core wire the the proper length
for the module/frequency
433 MHz - 6.5 inches, or 16.5 cm
868 MHz - 3.25 inches or 8.2 cm
915 MHz - 3 inches or 7.8 cm
