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 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.
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:
Oh, wow, I am 300 feet away from a cell tower and I did not even think if this Thanks!
Very cool. I have taken a few different nodes up just below 400' but only for about 20 minutes each time. I have to set the node broadcast to a very short interval otherwise it doesn't let anyone else know that it is up there. Wish I could haul my 900mhz yagi up there!
