Create a comms Channel named UCARS and add the following encryption key (replacing whatever else is there).

Now you should get all messages sent in that channel with that key.

Got the Meshtastic Seeed Tracker T-1000 up to 350 feet. But I can only do it for ten minutes at time.

I tried that with my drone, and it could not handle the weight of the Heltec device. Guess I need a bigger drone.

Solar Node

I installed a new solar node this weekend. I roughly followed this guy's instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJVsXXTizY It's a RAK (19007 + 4632) with 6000mAK battery and 6W solar panel. I added the RAK1906 environmental module.


I get more coverage, but not quite enough to reliably reach the rest of the network.

Meshtastic Amplifier?

I wondered if there was such a thing. Here is a video demonstration of a 10dB bi-directional amp for Lora devices.



This channel also has some antenna builds for Lora devices.


Here is the link to the amp he talks about:

Fyi I got a ping on your K3TCM-AMP node a couple of days ago. Was happy to see that from over here on the other side of 74. It might have been due to that crazy 900mhz band opening earlier this week.
