what if I told you that you could do Ethernet over LoRA?

APRS also Just Works™️

first: pic APRSIS32 + Windows 11 + https://store.rakwireless.com/products/rak4631-lpwan-node

second pic: Xastir + Fedora + https://www.seeedstudio.com/Wio-SX1262-with-XIAO-ESP32S3-p-5982.html

this demonstration was at very close range (~10m) using close to the fastest LoRA preset possible using this hardware: Bandwidth 500KHz, Spreading Factor 5, Coding Rate 5 (4 is less redundant, therefore faster)

@Viss @meph Well, that is interesting for sure!

@Viss @meph Hmm, where is X.25 fit into that kind of stack 🤔. Could be fun to plug in all the existing software stack.

@ai6yr @Viss lorapipe turns a microcontroller+lora radio (basically anything that meshcore supports) into a serial attached KISS TNC so you can just kissattach it to a linux kernel and you get AX.25 out of the box.

@meph @Viss NICE

@meph @Viss Maybe I should load meshcore on this other LoRa board I have. Don't know if there are any Meshcore nodes in radio range here, but definitely could be fun.

@ai6yr there's a large meshcore network in the pacific northwest. Users in Seattle WA, and Vancouver BC are regularly able to have conversations with one another. A group of users is currently working on trying to link up the Portland OR meshcore mesh to Seattle and Vancouver!

The mesh up here seems to have settled on a USA "Narrow" preset: BW62.5KHz, SF7, Frequency 910.525
