4 dBi SMA Male 915 MHz flexible gooseneck tactical antenna is an omni-directional SMA Male 915 MHz dipole antenna with 4 dBi peak gain. The antenna is 11.5 inches tall with a diameter of 16mm at its thickest point, and and can be bent as shown in the photo without internal damage.

Flat top vs round top design selection: we have 2 versions that have nearly identical performance however there are some internal design differences in addition to the form factor. Round top is spring design vs. Flat top straight wire. 

  • Gooseneck style design means it will stay in the position it is bent

  • Heavy duty quarter-pound weight with metal aluminum neck
  • 14.2mm diameter around connector (15.8mm for round top version)- requires protruding SMA port- may not fit cases with recessed SMA port

I see similar looking antennas online that say for 600 MHz to 2700 MHz, is a wider frequency spectrum better? 

Antennas with a focused spectrum will have better performance on that band segment vs antennas with very wide spectrum. We generally do not recommend wide spectrum antennas except as a tool for frequency testing. This antenna has a frequency range of just 902-928 MHz to give you maximum performance.

Big ol honkin thing for a meshtastic radio

This is a great antenna

Best range out of several lora antennas that I have tested. The only downside is the size. It outperforms other antennas, but it's relatively huge. Not a big problem if you plan to carry your device in a bag or have it as a base station, but this is a consideration if you are looking to drop your device into a pocket discreetly.

Half and half

Device heltec v3, use case; mobile unit carabinered to my backpack for field use. I liked the antenna, a sturdy and solid peice of gear. I got as good contact as the cheap 5db jointed cheapo from China however the ruggedness of this antenna broke the plastic printed case and I'm now searching for either a new antanna solution more suited to cheap printed cases or a more sturdy case preferably metal(non existent)

Thank you for trying our product and we are sorry to hear about your experience. The antenna is aluminum and may be top heavy for some devices. If you can contact us with your case file, our team is happy to print you a new case and send free of charge. Regarding performance, in our testing we had low VSWR and great range. If it works the same for you as another antenna we would need some more data points to figure out why. Our support team is standing by to assist if you would like to go over that.
