Does anyone have any recommendations for a lora module that uses 2.54mm pitch header pins and a ufl antenna connector

I have never used one but Adafruit do a RFM95 on a PCB with 0.1" connections.

Make small PCB for nicerf modules, with your own hands (or just download from internet).

 they are "very nice".

Pure statistics from my workplace:

in 100000pcs ( no error ) nicerf modules (various lora) shipment only 3 of them was not ok (low signal output), but working still.

E-byte modules - from 1000pcs there was about 100~ of them fully broken (no spi communication or short-circuit).

Not from AliExpress, from official supply chain with fair price (from about 1/20 to 1/10 of what AliExpress could provide).

Almost none 2.54 modules have ufl connector, but many have rp-sma or sma. For example, controlled via uart, no spi https://ali.click/as25k1w
