And here’s a question for the likes of @Jeff-UK who has probably seen more antenna setup than the rest of us!
I have just built a RAK2245 + BasicStation + RPi4 + PoE hat to replace what has been a really superb V2 gateway. The old setup used a RAK831 concentrator and regularly gets packets from Wales to where I live in the East of Ireland. The antenna connectors are different however!
I know that the antenna as it is works really well even with 5m between the gateway and the antenna on the top of my TV antenna pole.
Am I better using a UFL to SMA tail and connecting to the existing SMA or should I replace the connector on the RAK2245 which sould be a really simple soldering job, all the pads are there?
What sort of injection losses and cable losses will I get with a UFL to SMA? Will I change the tuning of the antenna path by changing the connect or to suit the existing cable straight to the concentrator board?
Anybody care to volunteer some wisdom?
Thx Garry
