JohnsNotHereGot my first Meshtasic LoRa device today. Naturally there are no other nodes nearby, but the fact I have something up-and-running is great. I'm going to take it to #AtlSecCon in a few weeks to see if anyone else is there, just as an experiment.
tangible_human@JohnsNotHere try upgrading beyond the little stub antenna they tend to ship with if you haven't already. Those stub antennas basically don't work for anything except for talking between devices within your house. Heltech whip antennas have done well by me
