I have to use an external antenna with my Lora 868 module but I don't know what kind of antenna to use specially what kind of connector.<br />
Does anyone knows what antenna model is compatible with this module ? there is no reference on the M5stack web site.</p>

<p dir="auto">Sometimes I find IPX (or I-PEX or U.FL?), sometimes MCX, sometimes SMA... on descriptions</p>
<p dir="auto">So I link them all here... so you can find out yourself</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMA_connector" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">SMA wikipedia</a> the most common one, it is threaded</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCX_connector" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">MCX wikipedia</a> snap in</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirose_U.FL" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">IPX I-PEX U.FL wikipedia</a> very tiny, mostly used on little pc board connections, surface mounted, snap on</p>
<p dir="auto">For antennas, you could do an internet search with keywords: "868 MHz antenna"</p>
<p dir="auto">Also YouTube is a nice source for searching all these terms</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2vA3luWvOs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">LoRa module video on YouTube</a> at 2:00 minutes it shows internally U.FL connectors, and externally MCX if I am not mistaken</p>
