@kelvin0mql @ludman1 @vk6flab Yeah pretty lousy of #gotenna. In the end, us suckers paid them good $ to be their testers, and as soon as possible they pulled the rug out and left us with e-waste.
What am I supposed to do with these things? #gotenna
#GoTenna is on #MURS and encrypted... so, clearly it is allowed in some way

@Sosthene @htimsxela a mesh network is also on my growing Todo list for "social distancing" time at home . Which tech are you exploring? I have some #gotenna devices but also interested in wifi based solutions like #babel

goTenna Mesh - a device to inter-connect mobile phones for exchange of text and location messaging off the grid

Download the goTenna app and pair your goTenna Mesh device to your phone via Bluetooth. Share real-time locations and send private or group messages to other goTenna Mesh users at point-to-point ranges typically up to 4 miles.
goTenna Mesh privately and securely hops messages across devices, extending the range. In 1-to-1 messaging, only end-users see messages. "Shout" messages are public broadcasts visible across the local mesh network.
It has great uses like for a group camping or hiking off the grid, or friends on a cruise ship, a community which does not have Internet connectivity, etc.
Pro's are:
1. Consumer focussed, easy to set up and use
2. Mesh networking can extend the range
3. No subscription version has useful functionality at zero ongoing cost
4. Small compact battery powered device
5. Works with any Android or iOS smartphone
Con's are: https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10560f1447d875a23fc632e1e0cedf771a
