It is possible to get 30-40% TX only coverage increase in urban environment by using additional external 1-2W amplifier (about 6$ on Aliexpress), which will give 10-12 dB signal increase, achieved approximately 20 km coverage in moderate urban environment and about 15 km with almost 100% packet receiving.
- Implement simple amplifier power switching by using relay from one of free ESP32 pinouts, use one of popular schematics from google, do NOT keep this amplifier always ON
- Set LoRa output power to around 8 dBm
cfg.LoraPwr = 8;
, NB! higher than 10 dBm levels can destroy amplifier - Set
cfg.PttEnable
totrue
- Set
cfg.PttPin
to your relay control pin - Optionally change
cfg.PttTxDelayMs
andcfg.PttTxTailMs
depending on your relay switching times
