I'm feeling pretty dissatisfied with the Heltec V4 Expansion Kits I bought. I connected them both to (and configured with) the Sideband app. Set them up so they could also act as Transport Nodes. Power set to 28db. Range is sub-optimal compared to my T-Echoes that are running 22db and get out further (using a Paradar +5db gain antenna on all units). Also not happy that RNS firmware provides no screen whatsoever so everything has to be done through the app. Reading elsewhere online and quite a few people also having this problem. I'm at the point where I may refocus temporarily on moving my efforts to concentrating on RNS over Packet Radio until I have the resources to properly build a localnet of several nodes for LoRa. I would be interested in hearing from people who have had more success with the Heltec V4's... #Reticulum #RNode #LoRa #Meshradio

Trying to do LXST calls using Pyxis. Still a bit broken atm. I’m not really bothered about voice calls over LoRa but it’s interesting. #LoRa #Reticulum #RNS #MeshRadio #Meshcore #Meshtastic

Okay. I bought two Heltec LoRa32 V4’s to be used as transport nodes. I just want these to work as transport nodes and nothing else. Tried the web flasher and I think I put the wrong firmware on. Usually don’t have a problem flashing Rnodes but this is different. Can anyone suggest the best way of getting these things working as transport nodes? #reticulum #lora #meshradio

Got Ratspeak and Pyxis running on T-Decks. Obviously this is early days for both apps. Ratspeak is borked at the mo (problems using EU frequencies) and Pyxis is running well with messaging but I can’t find an announce toggle and calls keep crashing. I’m hopeful these problems will be ironed out in future updates. Just excited to see people showing love for Reticulum. #reticulum #meshcore #meshtastic #meshradio

The sun is shining and the postie delivered. Just received two new T-Deck Plus’s. Time to get testing all those lovely new Reticulum firmwares out there… #TDeck #meshradio #reticulum #rns

Been having an interesting conversation with somebody on here who kept talking down encrypted mesh comms and kept saying the government will find you no matter what. I think not. I think they are a government goon though. Interesting. #LoRa #MeshRadio #Reticulum

Bit the bullet and installed MeshOS for Meshcore on my T-Deck. Will need to get a sister repeater running before I see some action. Sexy GUI and terminal interface is okay as far as I’m concerned. #MeshRadio #LoRa
