Helium Miner 8 dbi Antenna LoRa 915 MHz 43.3 Inch Tall Outdoor w/Raigen 400 Low Loss Cable Omni-Directional HNT Hotspot for MNTD, Nebra, RAK, Bobcat, Syncrob, and Sensecap

My experience with Helium Miner antennas is quite limited. I installed this one that overlooks a small city and some towns. It added a couple extra witnesses than I received originally with the stock antenna, and I don’t even have it properly installed on the pole yet. I’m happy with it so far, and it seems to be a decent value for an 8dbi antenna.

I use the Raigen 4dBi, 5.8dBi and 8dBi antennas and all work extremely well. Solid built and more than quadrupled the number of witnesses of each of my setups. Cables that come with it work great and also quality made, fittings have never come loose, etc. I'm using 5.8dBi as the go to antenna for most installs, the 4dBi for tight attic installs and the 8dBi for commercial buildings 20 meters and higher.

So as you can see from the pictures, the cable came folded, won't even try using it. How hard is it to properly ship a cable? Anyway until I have the antenna running for a bit I won't know if the antenna is just as poor quality...time will tell.

This is a good Helium antenna. It improved the consistency and reliability of my miner. Super easy to setup and good enough quality. It is definitely an upgrade to the stock antenna. Sadly, the miner it is paired with is still my lowest earning hotspot; however, I'm confident this is due to the location and not the antenna.

I have a 4dbi, 5.8dbi and 8dbi antenna. So far I am cycling through them all to see what works the best. Since, i swapped from the 8dbi to the 5.8 my numbers have increased more. I am using this to get over the tree line a bit since 8 dbi is more of a straight line. I would recommend for the future
