RAK3172 too much consumption in transmit EU868

Correct,

Confirmed here you can see transmit 35mA then 2 receive windows 5s/6s after

Thanks for the informations.
Is it possible for you to share the results of the power measurements you made after modification of the RF PA configuration (as describe previously by @Charles) ? I would like to know if this new power would be sufficient for my application.

Thank you for the information.

Are there any plans for introducing a LP Variant for the RAK3172?
Because by using the RAK3172LP-SIP we would need to redesign the matching circuit by ourself and also recertify the output power.
Or I am wrong here?
Currently we are using the RAK3172 using the IPEX Connector.

Thank you
Martin

Welcome to RAK forum @martink ,

Thank you for the interest and sharing your feedback. Currently, there is no plan to release a RAK3172LP version. You can still use an IPEX connector with RAK3172LP-SiP but you need to have a custom board with proper antenna circuit.

Ok thank you for the fast reply.

Then I will check if this is possible for us.
Otherwise we can always keep the RAK3172 and accept the higher currents.
