How can I separate PCB antenna and SMA connector?

I am designing a prototype PCB for a Lora node. It will have an SMA connector (J2) and a PCB antenna. Switching RF connectors are not available in my area, so as an amateur enthusiast what is a good way to separate the antennas?

They usually put a 3-pad solder jump.

  1. The central pad is connected to the LORA integrated circuit.
  2. The left pad is connected to your SMA connector.
  3. The right pad is connected to the printed antenna.

Can I use LEDs without PCB?

I recently purchased LEDs on ebay that were supposed to come attached to star PCB (as a heat sink). The items I received are just the LEDs (no PCB). They are listed as 3W LEDs, with a forward voltage of 3.0-3.4V, and current at 700mA.Will I damage/destroy the LEDs if I use them without a heat sink? If not, what is the best way to mount these to preserve their life during operation?

Why are RF PCBs hard to design?

I am a project procurement. Recently, Our project is to develop a television. Of all the materials supply, PCB was the slowest one. And even our engineer took part in the discussion with PCB supplier to push them. Is it really hard to make a RF PCB?
