Rubber Duck Antennas vs Gain vs Connector Type
« on: July 17, 2017, 11:50:30 AM »

I'm finally getting around to purchasing 1.9G and 2.4/5G rubber duck antennas a TTi.  What is your opinion on the following...

1) Does one go w/ the lowest gain?  I've seen options from 2dBi to 9dBi.
2) Two sources will put the type of connector on it that I need.  Do I stick w/ the default RP SMA and purchase adapters or change out for a N Type?

Thank you

1) Yes, use an antenna as close to unity gain as possible across the band of interest.
2) It's always best to keep the number of adapters to a minimum, but a single high quality adapter (read; not an Amazon or eBay special) will have a negligible impact on the measured spectrum.
