Finally re-spun up my Meshtastic LoRa project from last year using some new equipment, and the range is astounding. I’m located in CT, and I’m hitting nodes as far out as NH.

    Yip, got a stationary (solar) and a mobile node.

    T-Beam with increased battery capacity and a T-echo with increased battery in a new casing.

    But it is actually more for hobby (paintball/airsoft) than for prepping.

      Right now, a Heltec 3. Better antenna though, mounted on a pole. I have an even better antenna coming soon with a cable so I can move the unit inside and have it on one of my solar batteries, since the little 3000mah one is good, but won’t last long.
