👋🏻 Brand new to this. I just ordered 2x T1000-E. I can’t wait to try it.

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

    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 …

        It’ll probably work. I’d definitely setup a mesh if I lived on a farm. I put up a node on my balcony, 9th floor suburban environment, and people seem to be using it. I got some direct connections from 15km away. There’s also a guy 60km away across lake Ontario that’s connecting to my balcony node, but I’m sure he’s got a special antenna, likely directional.

          That is really cool. Does it just tell you how far away a connection is from?

          Super cool. I can’t wait to try it. The devices are back ordered but I hope I get them end of this month.
