Lilygo T-Lora Pager - External Antenna Mod - Various Configurations
Couldn't find anything made for this yet - so I whipped this up in tinkercad.
Looking for bigger antennas for your t-lora pager? Trying to bring a 915Mhz pager to Europe or an 868Mhz pager to the US? Need to change antennas? Look no further.
Please note - the T-Lora Pager uses an unusually small board connector for the LoRa antenna. MHF3 or MHF4 - still waiting on my SMA adapters to confirm which it uses.
Likely it uses an MHF3 - so this from adafruit or similar should work.

I personally cannot find any MHF3 pigtails on Amazon here in the US at all for some reason - I tried this MHF4 pigtail - and it seems to also work - but the fit is a little loose - I suspect - it's an MHF3 - the MHF4 works - kind of.

Currently a couple drops of glue are required to seat the antenna adapter in the hexagonal hole. I use JB super UV weld. Best stuff ever invented.
Print at 101% if your printer isn't great with tolerances - or use a little heat to get the antenna base seated in the hexagonal hole and pointed appropriately.
I am personally just modding my (right side) LoRa antenna - but I am also providing the thinner 10mm width left side antenna model I made as well - in case someone needs it. =)
Optionally - if you want - a right angle SMA adapter works great - and allows for the antenna to pop off the side of the unit... Which I rather like.
