Does the T-Deck have an SNA connector for an external antenna? #20

I'm trying to decide if I want to buy the unit. But in looking at the photo of the unit, I don't see any place I can connect my antenna to it.

Perhaps this is not the unit I can use. I called your China office, but they apparently didn't know much about the product.

Thanx John D.

On mine (t-deck v1.1), for the Lora module there is a uFL/IPEX connector - you can get uFL to SMA convertors. The wifi uses the internal wifi antenna of the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 module. To get an external antenna for the wifi, I think you would have to desolder the module and replace it with the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U, which has an IPEX connector. t-deck
