Selecting an Antenna
The RF220UF1 uses the on-board compact F antenna by default. If you wish to use an external U.FL antenna with
your application, you will need to set bit 0x0010 of NV ID 64 to 1 and reboot your node. This is a one-time change that
will persist through reboots and program changes. To revert to the on-board antenna, change bit 0x0010 of NV ID
64 back to 0 and reboot the node.

NOTE: Antenna gain performance information is based on information from the individual companies at the
