    Just be aware what you’re gaining in pocket ability here you’re losing some with the LoRa antenna being jammed against everything else. It’ll still work. But a lot less well than it could if the antenna were sticking out.

      @@TerraMagnus it’s a simple trade off, like with almost anything. A Prius is cheaper and more fuel efficient than a Tahoe, but doesn’t have nearly as much interior space or towing capacity. An internal antenna does have marginally decreased link budget, but it doesn’t have an antenna sticking out and it’s less conspicuous.

      When you're using an antenna that small, the tradeoff is usually feet, not miles. Negligable loss for a discreet mobile node.
