Gruesome details here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/docs/StationG2setup.md

(with Claude Code to the rescue).
RNode is an open, free and flexible digital radio interface with many uses (this one attempts to add Station G2 support) - emuehlstein/RNode_Firmware_CE_G2
I'm looking for someone who's willing to share their experiences with putting a cavity filter on a meshtastic station G2. I believe I have a significant interference problem here, and wondering if others have been able to solve that with a filter. Guess I'm not locked into a cavity type filter, but that's really all I've seen. Specific filter suggestions are also welcome.
Node in attic as high as possible on top a stack of plastic boxes. The house happens to be at a relatively high point of the city. The node is under the tiled roof which has thick wooden boards and clay tiles. I thought it was interesting to see how being under the roof seems not to cause a problem. Antenna: Sirio GP 868 P/N 2107006.00/868 Base Station Antenna 868MHz from Sirio - GP 868 C N-f | K-PO Node: Station G2 from https://shop.uniteng.com/product/meshtastic-mesh-device-station-editio...
See post above....
(The Station G2 also allows for 12V input on connector on the side.)
Note that not all USB cables will/can provide sufficient power. The node is only working properly if all the multi-coloured lights are on. Just a red power light alone is NOT ok.

This is a trial of a solar node to run the Station G2 node which runs on USB PD (power delivery) (requiring 15W) & so needs more than just a normal USB power supply.
Node: Station G2 https://shop.uniteng.com/product/meshtastic-mesh-device-station-edition/ 868MHz version, comes with the antenna shown
