I’m still fighting with Amazon to get my first pair of devices delivered, I went with heltec v3s to get started.

But looking at the meshmap.net, it’s very very sparse around me. How likely is it that the are nodes that aren’t on the map?

Hopefully I can check it out myself soon!

Seems like most people are saying there’s way more nodes than the map shows. It’s not a guarantee though. I say give it a try!

Sweet. I have been seriously considering getting one of my own to play with. The Lilygo T-Deck Plus is the one I have my eye on.

Looks sweet. I might end with something like that eventually, but honestly I really like the idea of using my phone and just linking the mesh device to it. Reminds me of the old goTenna before they sold out.

Do you have somewhere high you could mount a repeater/router node to? Like the chimney of your house or something? Would make it even easier to connect with people, at least from home.

I’m planning on putting a few up, one at my house and each of my buddies houses.

Oh, well I likely would not be running a repeater, at least not right away. I would probably be sticking with just the handheld device.
