Which antenna plug do Helium miners use?

Which plug does a Helium hotspot use ?  That is what you may be wondering whether you have a Sensecap, Milesight, Nebra, Bobcat or any other brand and are
considering adding an external or remote antenna on your roof

Often when purchasing an external antenna you need to ensure the cable supplied has the correct end on the side that connects to the hotspot.

It can be confusing, as many plugs look very similar.

Pigtials and adapters aren’t exactly cheap, so you want to get the right one

There are a few things to know, and they are important.

Let’s keep this simple, and short as possible

Here is a diagram of three types of inputs you possibly might find at the back of your Helium hotspot.
Now you can see for example, the difference between SMA and RP-SMA

Different brand and model Helium hotsports or miners will use a different type of input for the antenna.
For example, the Sensecap M1 has a RP-SMA Female input, and the Milesight UG65 has a N Type Female input
