Hi Grogs, All,
Wow all that knowledge and imparted in one go.
It is going to take me some going through, I did see on RS-Online the SMA 433MHz antennas fairly cheap ($12 or so) and Aliexpress had the adapters like you linked, I think from the descriptions I need to look for IPEX1 (IPX) or uf2 type.
I have some old laptops that have the same IPX header for the wifi but these will be 2.4GHz or 5GHz antennas so not much use but the connectors and coax might be usable if I make my own antenna, (although I prefer off the shelf).
I will probably test the setup to see what range I can get and use that to guess-ti-mate how it would go `up the pole'.
I think up the pole would have less obstruction than 2m high mounted on a brick wall and having to penetrate at least 5 or 6 walls to the receiver.
Thanks again Grogster and know your little HC12s are going well.
Regards,
Mick
