Even better!

Perfect time to get very big into poppyseed bagels

Thanks for the link!

One of them actually works for the city they live in. Their home and office is not far from the ridge. He pitched asking within the city gov if he could get a node up on existing city infra that’d be high enough. Initially I told him to wait for the MF switch. Now that we know theres a holdout holding them back we’re going to look at building a solar client base for his home and/or persuing the city infra option with a router late node (or whatever the smarter people around town suggest is best for the overall mesh.

Oh nice! Last time I looked it was up ~$10 from that. Good deal!

They pretty easily last a couple of days on battery from my testing. I actually bought 2 as my first nodes before deciding to get an M1 and spiralling further down the rabbit hole to procuring standalone nodes.

Yup that’s how my nodes have MF setup. I believe it’s default slot is 45, don’t know the frequency but I can look it up/ask the local group. I’ll be sure to check their nodes are using those other settings though.

They likely are setup with the right settings, when our city switched I sent a link based off my config so they’d be able to switch over easily. they’re just a bit SOL that the guy who owns the routers covering their area doesn’t want to switch from LF to MF and is leaving the people in that area stuck not being able to mesh with the majority of us.

good suggestion! There’s a small ridge between their part of town and the rest, but that’s worth a try! I’m saving your comment so I can easily pull it up and help them try these settings changes next time we’re hanging out. Thanks a bunch!

Wow! That’s a great price on an M1! Where’d you find that? (Not that I need one lol)

I can speak to the M1 and it’s been nice! Setup was very easy and battery lasts me about 2 days with GPS off.

I will say though that if the recipients are most likely to only use their devices through the companion app that the WisMesh Tag is a good option. It does lack any screen, bit it has BT/GPS. I bought a 5pk and handed them out to a lot of friends. None of them had a problem getting it setup and using them. Only problem I’ve heard of from any of them are the 2 stuck in an area that only gets LF while the rest of the city is on MF that currently can’t reach them.

The table (dm) might finally make the switch from roll20 to foundry for a campaign!
