Like the title mentions I am new to Meshtastic and would like to buy a T-Deck Plus with an external antenna from Lilygo (as I heard the internal one is not that good). Does anyone know if an antenna like this would work/make sense with that device? What antennas do you use? Thanks in advance.
for the handheld portables like a tdeck stick to flexible whips. it’s lesson you want to learn before breaking your first tdeck.
generally though these pocket devices are not stand alone solutions. they become useful in an established mesh network. If your area doesn’t have an existing community for this stuff, you dont travel to places with established meshes or you’re just getting started. plan on picking up at least one other small device. a heltec or rak with decent antenna would let you place it at a high point and experiment with what kind of range the tdeck gets.
