If you are needing to TX/RX approximately 915 MHZ, THIS IS the antenna you need. The price is unbeatable (at the time I purchased). The image was taken inside my house calibrated and connected to a NanoVNA. Also while I was skeptical of the coax / cable that came with it, this test was conducted WITH the included cable. Typically, I get a better SWR if I go outside away from structures and drive a pole into the ground for mounting. Your milage may vary, but I am HAPPY with it.

EDIT: Updated reviewI've had a chance to put these antennas into use on a hilltop, and they don't perform well. People can hear the node but it can't hear them. It's just not tuned well enough.-------------------OLD ReviewI got two of these for meshtastic. After sweeping them on the nanoVNA, they are clearly tuned for 868mhz (As shown by the massive return loss dip). However they are constructed in a way that they are broadband enough for the US 902-928mhz band.SWR is 1.2 - 1.5:1 across the band, decent enough for LORA/Meshtastic and any receive application you would want to use.Don't expect 5.8dbi. I would guesstimate 3-4dbi based on the return loss.

Very high quality construction, materials, annd components in addition to outstanding performance (1.2~1.3 VSWR). This best performing antenna I’ve had on any of my Meshtastic Repeaters, routinely making connections 50+ miles line-of-sight!

I have purchased 2 of these 5.8dBi antennas now (and plan to purchase a couple more). Both read an excellent SWR of less than 1.2 in the low 900MHz range (with 20ft cable). For the price it's an incredible value for a high quality outdoor antenna that also includes a mounting kit and cable. None of the components are cheaply made, either.I see some people here giving low ratings because their "witnesses" decreased, which has nothing to do with the quality. It's important to understand how antenna gain affects your use case (see antenna chart).

I found this product as described prior to buying it and it works great thus far. The most important thing is that my HTN mining rewards quadrupled since I got it hooked up; given more witnesses per day. Before buying this product, I usually see 1-3 witnesses per day; now, I have been receiving 10-14 witnesses per day. I am so happy I made a decision to buy it.Customer service is great too. I contacted the seller to ask a question and they responded within 18 hours. The seller went above and beyond to help me. I will recommend this seller and their products any time.

Works as described and manufacturing quality seems to be great, but I have seen better performance from other manufacturers. Could be totally unrelated to the product, but that's my opinion.
