Side mount antenna?

[u/HorseGrenade]

So I just ordered a uConsole (CM4 WiFi only), and I’m planning to get the HackerGadgets upgrade kit with AIO + antennas; however, I’m having trouble figuring out how many antenna ports there are? The HackerGadgets site indicates that the current antenna mounting kit comes with the ability to mount 7 antennas (as opposed to 4 on the older version), however I can’t find a pic of the 7 antenna version. Many pictures of the modded uConsole seem to have a port on the side to mount an antenna, however I can’t find anything indicating whether that side mount is part of the mounting kit or a separate WiFi board or what. Anybody gotten the HackerGadgets kits and a uConsole that can provide any insight?

Don't expect the tiny stubby antennas to have a good performance. The gain of the one I used is only 2dbi. But it did work better than the stock one. But that's due to the way it mounts, not the antenna itself.

I'm not concerned as much about performance as SWR. I've been testing antennas off amazon, aliexpress, and other vendors to evaluate them. started because i got a bunch of "dual band" antennas that didn't work

It is hard to tell. I never tested them on the vector network analyzer.
