  • Lets say I want to talk to a buddy of mine a couple of miles away. I can see him via one node away. Sometimes when I message it doesn’t show up. Sometimes none of the messages show up if its a busy day.

    This isnt an isolated problem. Ive had my node on my roof for over 2 years now. Its a bit sporadic no matter which device I put up there. Threw an RTLSDR up there and found there’s a lot of traffic happening around the US frequency in my area. But it shouldn’t affect it all that much. Hope that makes sense!

    I own 4 meshtastic devices. They are awesome when they work! But I personally wound’t rely on them for communication. An old walkie talkie would probably get better reception if need be.
