Helium Mining, LongFi and IoT in general is a rapidly growing market. In this video we raise and address a number of common antenna questions, making sure you understand the basic fundamentals before spending money on Helium Mining antenna upgrades.

Typical questions raised in this video are the following
What is the best Helium Miner Antenna?
As mentioned in the video, this is a loaded question, and really depends on your particular situation. The main thing is to avoid bad quality (i.e. too cheap) antennas. Also, be careful that the gain is not better than expected, since that clearly shows somethings odd or just wrong.
How do you get the best of your Helium Miner?
This relates direct to your cable and antenna selection, and where the antenna needs to be placed. This is discussed and explained in the video
Is higher gain antennas better than low gain?
In principle no, as it does vary to application. Generally a higher gain antenna gets you further and that's important, but if you have obstructions you may want to go for a lower gain antenna so you can have some height coverage as well.
What is the range / reach of my antenna?
This actually means you need to check more things about the antenna and miners than just the antenna gain. Are there obstructions in the way (and can you clear those by lifting your antenna higher?). Since Helium works around 900MHz it's possible to calculate the path losses and RFShop will do this in subsequent videos.
