Q: Can this antenna be used for 433MHz devices?
A: This antenna is specifically tuned for 470-510MHz. For 433MHz, performance may decrease; we recommend using a dedicated 433MHz antenna.
Q: Is the interface waterproof?
A: While the TPEE material is durable, the SMA interface is not inherently waterproof. For outdoor rain exposure, additional sealing is recommended.
