👋🏻 Brand new to this. I just ordered 2x T1000-E. I can’t wait to try it.

    Haha true. Messaging of course. It’s more about “dinner is ready” and “I am stuck, bring the tractor” 🤣 so a message is plenty. Also of course thinking about an emergency network eventually between neighbours.

    Some trees and lots of dips but we have our house at the highest point (even considering neighbours and even extended neighbourhood). If I am going ahead with this (after some play time) I am thinking a solar node on the roof …

      It’ll probably work. I’d definitely setup a mesh if I lived on a farm. I put up a node on my balcony, 9th floor suburban environment, and people seem to be using it. I got some direct connections from 15km away. There’s also a guy 60km away across lake Ontario that’s connecting to my balcony node, but I’m sure he’s got a special antenna, likely directional.

        That is really cool. Does it just tell you how far away a connection is from?

          Only if the node published their location and if it’s correct. Many people publish approximate locations.

            I was wondering about this. Is there a way to set location as general area vs precise? I saw somewhere it can be disabled too I believe.

        Super cool. I can’t wait to try it. The devices are back ordered but I hope I get them end of this month.
