GERBER FILES. I have added a shared link. This one has the two slight changes made to it, to allow for two paralleling components of the antena parts, as explained in the video. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B1eWbNJ3ZEUCEXx99gg-Cap8bZAr3nNU?usp=sharing

I always use an attenuator when aligning radios, and a switchable one to add to my workbench was always in the plans. I decided to add a dummy antenna to this, and the result is great. Using PCBWay's boards also makes the job look extremely professional, and easy to build. The sponsorship notwithstanding, the views and opinions that I express in this video are my own. That was the first condition that I set for accepting their offer.
