Great swr and we'll built
Nice antenna. Great swr for north America as tested with a nano vna. Well built and comes with everything you need to mount it. I went with just a hole drilled in a waterproof case and will add a small solar panel for a Meshtastic node. The 5db is good as well. Some of the other antennas on Amazon have terrible swr.

STATION G2 works much better - make sure you have 7-18vdc to power the Power Amplifier!
I purchased this antenna for my STATION G2 Meshtastic.I tested the tuning of the antenna with a Seesii NanoVna SAA-2N VNA, and the tuning is right on 915Mhz.With the stock antenna that came with the G2, I was not receiving many nodes and every message that I sent = "timeout". With this antenna, the STATION G2 recorded +100 nodes now.If there are others out there with a STATION G2, it is important to know, that unless you have a 7-18vdc power supply for your G2, you are not transmitting the 1-watt. The STATION G2 has 3 LED lights = LV/PA/HV. If the PA light is not LIT, your Power Amplifier is not transmitting 1-Watt.And for all the HAM General Licensed operators, you can use the python modules and up your power to 5 watts in licensed mode = 35DBi.Since I have installed this antenna, used the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus 18vdc USB-C power jack, and configured the wattage to 35dbi, I no longer get timed out messages and I have several 1-hop returns from other Meshtastic nodes.

Great antenna, wrong user manual.
I ordered this antenna according to the online description for the US frequency. Received it today - the package says nothing except the shipping label, antenna housing has a sticker stating that it is 900-930 MHz, but the user manual claims that it is a European 868MHz product (see photo). This got me worried, cause I have no idea what to believe and have no advanced tools to measure whether it is a correct antenna. I connected it to the Bobcat 300 miner with no apparent effect seen today, but it could be too early to tell, as antenna upgrades may take a while to show any significant improvements. I will send an update in a couple of days.Update: miner for two witnesses for the first time in 6 hours after installing this antenna - had none with the stock antenna for a month! Great product, ignore the specs on a wrong insert!

Very nice
On the antenna: Nicely done. Resonant on the band. Looks well made. Not a single complaint so far.On the cable: not needed for use with this antenna for me. My installation connected the antenna directly to the transceiver through a bulkhead connector. Any cable would have too much loss at 915MHz, so I designed this system to not need one. The supplied cable was good quality, but it appears that the packing of the cable has damaged it. Cable has a minimum bend radius, and they exceeded that minimum to squeeze the cable into its plastic bag. As a result, I can see where the bends were on the VNA even after straightening the cable. I hope that after leaving the cable straight for a while the problem will get better, but even if not, the antenna alone is worth the selling price.

Well made Low SWR
Haven't installed the antenna yet, but the first thing I had to do was test it with the coax connected.SWR 1.089 @ 915 MhzCant wait to see how this performs when I build my Solar Mesh node!

Robust antenna
The Coaxial Cable went straight to junk box because I have legit Times Microwave for feedline, but the antenna itself is a fine piece of kit:)

I wouldn’t buy again but does what it’s supposed to
My son wanted this for his birthday. Not sure why.Spent $300 on everything he needed. He’s making 3 cents a week lol. Spending more money on electricity. I probably should have done the research to see what exactly it is. But it does what it’s supposed to.

Works Incredibly Well | Helium Miners Know What You're Buying
This antenna works great! There are some lame reviews on here and I wanted to state a few things. I'm running this antenna with a 60' LMR-400 coaxial cable to my Bobcat Miner. The antenna is 32' off the ground on a friend's roof.This antenna is accessing 32 hotspots with the longest distance being 11 miles.Before you purchase an antenna, understand that the higher the dbi number does not mean the better. This antenna has a longer reach and narrower radius. There are different radius' (widths) and distances (reach) to each antenna, a lower number may be a better option for you.Also consider where you antenna will go, and determine the distance to your miner. The cable you will use needs to be high quality to minimize loss.Do some research before you write a lame review on a good product.
