We have a tight schedule so it might be a good idea to post here. . 
 We are using Fanstel BT840E as the central in the gateway.

We did use a u.FL to SMA pigtail connector and tried several antennas. It turns out that all the different antennas we used have RP-SMA connectors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We did not suspect this because if we took off the u.FL connector, then BT840E could not receive any signals. So we always thought that the antennas are working.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: BT840E weak reception signal as central</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/301064?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Mar 2021 10:20:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:884e2b66-8886-40c8-8f3b-4aac6c99c5b4</guid><dc:creator>Daniel Chisholm</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;15-20d&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;B is about what you lose when you have no antenna connected at all (i.e. just an empty u.FL connector).&amp;nbsp; Do you see a similar signal strength if you have no antenna attached?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, if you are using a u.FL to SMA pigtail, and connect an RP-SMA antenna or cable to that, there will be no centre pin present, so even though connectors are mechanically attached they are not electrically attached.&lt;/p&gt;
