I just found out about it. Open Source messaging. It seems intriguing although I’m not sure I would have much to do with it. I honestly can’t find too much information about it except for the website and a few YouTube videos. I was just curious if anyone has had experience with it.

    I ordered four of the simpler devices this weekend (LilyGO T3-S3 LoRa 868MHz - SX1262) and I have been reading about antennas.

    Since I live in a city I am not super optimistic about the range. But I am still very curious about the concept, and I would love to be surprised.

    After doing some search about antennas, I have decided to test the following combination:

    I also have a vector network analyzer (LiteVNA) that can be used for checking antennas, so I will also try to build some antennas myself. I doubt that my custom antennas will approach the performance of the professional ones… But I just find it such a cool concept.

    Have you already gotten to play with it? What is your experience so far?

      I’ve received a T Deck and I’ve got it configured but I guess there is no other meshtastic devices around so I can’t do much of the moment but I have a wiz block on the way so then I can communicate between the two.
