We have a farm. I want to see if we can replace walkie talkies as we just always forget to bring them. These little guys enable your phones even without cell reception. At least that’s what I want to try.
They should work as long as there’s no trees or buildings in the way. If there are, installing one up high, say the roof of a barn or on top of a silo should allow the rest to bounce off of 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 …
I’ve been curious about getting into meshtastic. What are you using these for?

Well you won’t be talkin’ that’s for sure! 😄
