      Does someone know the average gain of the LoRa & Sigfox Antenna Kit from the Pycom Webshop (https://pycom.io/product/lora-antenna-kit/)? I cannot find detailed information on the website.

          @iotgeek It is told to be a 1/2 wavelength antenna. So you should expect about 2 dB gain.

            @robert-hh That wasn't the conclusion you got to in your post linked above, was it?

              @jcaron It's unclear. For the construction it may be a WL/2 antenna. But it has too much hand sensitivity at the connector. But for the gain it does not matter. And when attached to a metal box, the difference is also minor.

                @iotgeek Some time ago Pycom team said that is FCC rated as 2.2 dB. Also that is unclear that this same level is consistent in all antennas.
