NOT compatible with Bobcat (see image)

This is NOT compatible with Bobcat Miner. See picture with red letters. Either I have to return them (I bought 2) or I have to find a sex changer. SMX

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Obsolete

Missing Witnesses Best Radio Antennas

I Bought This Antenna And My Buddy Bought Two Of Them! As soon as I connected the antenna, I lost all my previous witnesses! 12 hours have passed and there are no witnesses! I used to have many witnesses, but now I don't have any!

Pros
  • Finally Bought
Cons
  • Some Cons

Works well, seller very helpful and responsive

The first antenna I received was probably damaged in transit (not seller's fault, it was well packaged). I wrote to the seller and he solved the problem very quickly. The next antenna worked great.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Missing parts, random batteries.

Just thrown in a box with 2 random batteries. Bracket missing and 2 adapters not included. Looks discarded and used. Not sure if this works or not. Disappointed, I have to make the bracket myself and order adapters.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Nice outdoor 900MHz antenna (no wifi)

I am using this antenna on a LoRAWan gateway. This would be sufficient for most applications in the 900MHz ISM band. I like the handy mounting bracket with U-bolts. I wish the coax line was a little longer. I'm trying this and I hope it improves the performance of my helium gateway.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • -

IF you want to get into helium mining DO NOT BUY THIS antenna

This antenna was the worst. I couldn't see any of the witnesses next to me, not a single witness was literally the next hex on the helium chart. I thought it was good because I saw it in a YouTube review. but no, it's not. I installed Rak 5dbi. and I have a witness. come find out my antenna, which I had glued to the outside of the window, fell to the ground. So the Rak antenna found a witness on the ground, but this antenna is 7 feet higher. found no witnesses and produced only 0.02 helium per…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Okay

I used it on my Bobcat Miner 300

Hello, I always leave honest feedback so please let me know if my review was helpful to you. So, like I said, I have this antenna for my Bobcat 300 helium miner. I live in an apartment complex with a lot of tall buildings and trees around me and I live in a ground floor apartment. Firstly, this is an outdoor antenna, but I used it indoors and installed it at a height of only 2 meters. I also have the original antenna that comes with the Bobcat Miner which is 4dBi and I also have a 3dBi antenna.

Pros
  • . Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Lots of things

Beware the Worst Antenna Buyer!

I read all the reviews before purchasing and I thought that based on all the good reviews I made the right decision. When I think about it, I think all of these rave reviews are WRONG! I bought it to use with my Bobcat miner. I was hoping that with this antenna I could connect to miners much further away. I know that an 8dBi antenna is more horizontal than a 4dBi antenna. I used a tool that calculates the elevation of different locations so I know if the hotspots I want to connect are at what…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
