That’s exactly what I did. Better yet I routed it though a wireguard tunnel! I documented the process here.

I’m getting 1W 433 modules for like $15 now

haha I guess cheap is relative :) I was considering parts at 4 to 5$ range. But i’m talking about low power ble/zigbee etc…

wow didnt’ know that Ebyte modules were that popular! I’ve come across them in site like lcsc and Ali… Making use of them is what my current skill level allows. some of the varieties are relatively expensive though…

Okay great! Thanks for all the great insight!

Wow, thank you for the very detailed post! I see that impedance matching is an important base subject. Is it covered in standard circuit theory textbooks. I’m looking to use this book. I tried to skim the contents but couldn’t find it… Maybe I need to separately learn it? Thanks.

I see, that reference design suggestion sounds good. And it sounds like there’s more practical consideration in tracing/routing on top of the theory… Thanks for the input!
