    If you’re in the US and plan to get a LoRa device for use with Meshtastic then get the 915 band for your first device. That is what’s intended for us unlicensed users, and that’s where you have a better shot joining a mesh.

    As far as the T-Deck Plus. I received mine about 3 weeks ago as my first dip into Meshtastic. The stock Meshtastic firmware interface is… underutilizing the hardware interface. There is an unofficial firmware version with much more capability, but it’s very, very buggy. You’re basically going to be an early adopter. (If they’re still taking two months to ship, who knows by then) Since I don’t desire to tinker, or build my own firmware from the source examples from Lilygo, I am basically waiting for Meshtastic or another open source group to release a better experience for the T-Deck Plus.

    For now I’m using my second device. A RAK Wizblock with no display and my cell phone. I bought an Atlavox M1 which is a very solid prebuilt. It’s basically the RAK LoRa starter kit, a battery, and a well designed, 3d printed PETG case. I’m very happy with that purchase.






  • Aside from your choice to combat someone you perceive as wrong online in their own arena of sycophants. How many fucking Reddit account do you need? I’m pretty sure having more than one is against ToS. I could understand if you had a main account and an alt account for saying shit you feel ashamed of, but you literally make it out like you had dozens. That’s pretty damn weird.
