There is absolutely no guarantee that this here chip has the right capacitance for Amal’s antenna. It’s not even the same packaging.
Nevermind - see below
It’s not a matter of preference: either this chip will play ball with Amal’s wedge antenna and I’ll implant it, or it won’t and I most certainly won’t implant a full-size antenna
Oh yeah, I clean forgot about that.
My Taginfo says the chip is a MF3ICD41, capacitance 17 pF.
Well that seems to be good news then. Thanks!
