Thanks, that's interesting. The disclaimers are correct.
I've inspected an rpi3 just now, and as the author observed the U.FL pads are not fully clear of mask; my guess is they were set up for testing only, not production. I'm licensed to make this sort of change, but I'd only do it if I'd exhausted other link budget possibilities. I'm not offering. If anyone does this, use a spectrum analyser to verify success, and especially avoid generating out-of-band interference. And use more flux, and a board preheat. ;-) On Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 09:13:43AM +0530, Anish Mangal wrote: > Hi, > > I came across this.
