915Mhz Whip Antenna for LoRa and Meshtastic 17cm, Black

This 915MHz whip antenna is a solid choice for LoRa or Meshtastic setups. It connected cleanly with no fuss and gave a noticeable boost in range compared to the stubby stock antennas that often come with development boards. The build quality feels decent for the price, and it has a clean look that doesn’t scream “DIY project.”One minor downside is that it’s a bit stiff, which is fine once it’s in place, but makes it feel like it could bend the connector if bumped too hard. Not really an issue for stationary setups, just something to be mindful of if you’re using it on a portable rig. Aside from that, performance has been consistently strong and reliable. For the price, it’s a worthwhile upgrade.

Very nice 915MHz meshtastic antenna with a smaller diameter base that fits cases better with side-mounted/ partially protected/restricted antenna port openings/ designs.Strong reception. Very flexible. No issues.

I just recently got into the Meshtastic hobby and built myself a few nodes to play around with. I started with some standard tall bending antennas that I nabbed in a two pack off Amazon, but performance was only adequate. For as big as those antennas were, I wasn't really getting a ton of connections to my nodes even with them in a good spot.I went ahead and bit the bullet on buying one of these since I had seen them recommended so frequently within Meshtastic's online communities. I can genuinely say they're worthy of all of their praise. This antenna is not only smaller than all of the other antennas I have, but it absolutely destroys all of my other antennas as far as range and signal quality. The tuning with this antenna seems to be incredibly spot on. Coupled with a Heltec T114, I've been able to reach nodes miles away with the node sitting in my windowsill. Compared to my other nodes right next to that one, the signal strength is incredible.For what it's worth, these antennas also fit really well on most of the cases I've put together. Some other whip antennas I've purchased have large plastic bases that make them hard to fit in some cases, but this one is perfect. The SMA connector isn't covered by anything and doesn't have any extra plastic around it, so there's no additional space needed for the antenna to screw in.For only $12 these are a steal. Don't be tempted to get any of those 2-for-1 pack deals on other antennas just because they're cheap. Actually spending the $12 a pop for these is absolutely worth it with signal quality like this.

Best meshtastic antenna ever. I have been homebrewing and building meshtastic nodes for several years now. Tbeams, xiao esp32s3's and more recently xiao nrf52840's. I have built and used several homebrew quarterwave gp, yagi, and cheapie '90' bendable solid' antennas. This Musi 915 is the best antenna for portable nodes so far. It is well worth the extra few dollars. DO NOT BUY those cheap, 90' bendable solid antennas. They will break at either the screw in joint or at the internal wire after a few months or twists. Get this instead. Not only does it show a consistent 1.3 swr on my stupid nanovna, but it also just feels right for a small mobile node. Construction seems top notch. Its just a better antenna. Its so much better than a solid unbendable router style antenna. I cannot say enough about this antenna, it is not like the other cheapies you may be tempted to buy. Live and learn. Spend the $12 to save 20 after you find out how crappy the discount bargain antennas are.

Probably the best small and flexible 915MHz Meshtastic antenna you can buy. I’ve tested several with both a Rig Expert Stick X Pro and Anritsu SiteMaster and they all perform as specified with great SWR and Return Loss. Any Meshtastic device I build gets one of these antennas by default.

I've been very happy with the performance of this antenna on my Heltec V3 in use as a Meshtastic node. Overall quality seems to be good, performance (both reception and transmission) is a huge step up from the coil spring antenna and on par with what I would expect based on my node location. Overall a great value for the money spent in my 'Meshing around' project.

Friends suggested this antenna, and they were right. It's a short whip antenna (17cm, or 6.5inches) with a male SMA connector.It was advertised as having a SWR of 1.3. Testing with my NanoVNA, I replicated results other reviewers mentioned, that it's all around 1.3, and in some cases, as low as 1.15. SWR isn't everything with radios, but it's good to see an antenna that meets advertised specs AND works very well.It's hard to test range directly because I'm in a bit of a dense meshtastic area.

The antenna that I got shorted the signal pin to ground when it was screwed all the way into the SMA connector, which might have permanently damaged the radio. Worked fine after I added a washer to keep it from screwing all the way in. Otherwise, its a good antenna and the signal strength is better compared the PCB and stubby antennas included with the RAK Meshtastic starter kit.
