How to fill in "coverage" details on ve2dbe.com

The TBeam uses the HPD13A module which from Aliexpress has these specs.

Those antennas that come with the modules I’d assume are unlikely to be more than 2dBi. A good ULF to SMA pigtail would be about -1dBi.

So I would use:

  • Antenna gain - 2
  • TX line loss - 1
  • RX line loss - 1
  • TX Power - 0.1
  • Rx threshold - 0.035 (if using slowest, long range setting)

Its an amazingly good tool and fun to see what the potential of a mesh could be!
