I've decided to dip my toes into #meshtastic partly out of natural curiosity and partly because it just seems prudent these days to have alternate means of communication.

I picked up a pair of lowmesh pocket rangers, mainly because they seemed like a good combo of decent price and pre-built.

Any #lora nerds out there have tips or good resources I should know about?

@paul_griffin If you live in a city, chances are there may be a larger community running at a different frequency from the default LongFast. Took me a few days to learn this but you can find a list of these communities here https://meshtastic.org/docs/community/local-groups/
