I have soldered up my bare LoRa 1268 ($10nz landed) units as slim jim low cost version options.

Will ping you some pin up photos. It is almost easy to just use SIL pin header with a slight combing of the pin pitch and a 3x SIL socket for the antennae of various designs... Plug and play. The first 5 survived the soldering experiment and have programmed up ready to go !

I will embedded into some repeater projects with the rssi box ticked. I can test Rssi at the distant and at the loop this back to the local end (also rssi ticked) by simply putting a LoRa in a box with a battery with the TX pin looped to Rx UART pin and leaving it on a stump out the back of Opunake far enough away to measure variable lengths of antennae (fence wire) to find an optimal gutter bolt ruggedised design for up coming projects.

I started to shop Bunnings Petone and found an array of conduit threads / bungs but will have to wait till next trip (???!) to get a range of pipe to PROVE zero RF degredation etc when all this is placed inside a narrow pipe 1268 photo screen grab shows the mystery RF Gain tick box...
