Is Meshtastic Under Attack | FCC Filing
If you are enjoying using the your Meshtastic radio and/or you are an amateur radio operator, you need to speak-up now! There is a FCC filing to take a portion of the 900 MHz band from amateur radio operators. Which could have an impact of Meshtastic or other ISM band users.

Meshtastic Medium Range Fast | Fixed Node Update
Просмотров 48521 день назад
I have been in Albania for nearly 6 months and only made one official Meshtastic contact. My fixed node needs some improvements to include a Yagi antenna that should arrive in a couple of weeks. I discuss weather or not you should switch to medium range/fast vs. long range/fast.

Communicate with Confidence by Establishing Redundancy and Reliability P.A.C.E. Plan
Q: If I have a 'client' up in a tree, will it repeat? If so, will it repeat other 'channels?' In other words, my location is not ideal, I think, for router or repeater, due to elevation, but I wouldn't mind it serving as a hop point for everyone and anyone. As of now it's long fast, though I'd prefer to make a private channel. 👍
This is all about locating the exact location of Human Beings when GPS is weak, or Jammed by Russians etc. This is the ultimate kill-box technology the US GOV wants. We don't need kill-box technology running-live here in America. Install this monster machinery in Ukraine, Not in the USA.
Is there a way to view topics. For instance msh/US/?
They will not allow us to communicate unless they can spy on them
Government: "wait... So we can kill an encrypted civilian off grid license free network AND get filthy rich AND get a new technology to perfect pinpoint tracking of everyone? Shut up and take my spectrum"
In a perfect world, better navigation would be great. But in reality, in my practical use, GPS is fantastic. Great enough. I am saying NO to any tech that gives companies a better resolution method of tracking me, which is what this will be. EDIT: GPS can produce a three-dimensional position lock with FOUR satellites locked. Modern devices track up to what, 24? Upper twenties? Quite a bit more than four. GPS is fine.
Meshtastic has exploded onto the scene. Too late, Nexnav. So sorry.
Huh? Content starts @6:00
I corrected the link. Thanks for the heads up.
The proposed use poses too much risk to the existing ISM use. I don’t expect it to be accepted. If we did lose access to 33cm, and the FCC gave us matching spectrum on 23cm or 70cm, I would be fine with that. I currently have LoRa APRS on 915, including an iGate/Digi. In addition to providing this connectivity and the gateway to 2m and 70cm APRS, I am using this network to study terrain effects on GPS accuracy and correction via multipoint doppler stations. As a ham, I have no use for Meshtastic anymore. I tried to work with it, but the Meshtastic developers made it clear to me that they are not really interested in helping Amateurs in the US. On the contrary, they just take advantage of your part 97 improved coverage privileges for their unlicensed and encrypted use without protecting you from violating the terms of your license. I suggest that hams check out the LoRa APRS implementations which give us more opportunity and license compatibility using the same hardware.
Good reporting; thank you.❤
This waste of time video was like hearing Charlie Brown’s teacher talking over a phone in the cartoon, and equally unintelligible…😕👎🏼
Ok cool, thanks for the thoughtful engagement.
Encrypted speech is free speech.
Repeating it for those hard of hearing. ENCRYPTED SPEECH IS FREE SPEECH.
Keep getting an error trying to file and can not get it to work
It worked when I submitted mine. I will mess around with it again and see if it working.
I don't advocate breaking the law, but the reality is that if people want to use some of these data modes OTA, they will have to break the law. The most interesting aspects of Meshtastic (namely symmetric encryption) are already illegal on the ham bands at higher power levels.
If you read the filing, NextNav is specifically asking to have the limitation that their service not interfere with other users removed, so they fully know that they will jam everyone else on 900MHz and are asking permission to do so.
Great job covering the basics of an emergency communication plan.
Thanks!
Thanks JAKE !
Thanks for the support!
Licensing in the 50's? No. The amateur radio Licensing system started in 1912.
Ok, yeah the Radio Act of 1912. However, the FCC wasn't established until 1934 and wasn't until 1951 until created a licensing system similar to what we have today. Nonetheless, that wasn't the point of the video but thanks for the engagement.
When I enter the MQTT settings in Meshtastic, there is a switch for Precise Location, You can also set the radius of your approximate location up to 7 miles.
Yes indeed which a great feature of the newer version of the firmware.
A piece of plastic is certainly worth 20 dollars, if you consider the fact that since its origin, the dollar lost 97% of its value.
I’m in the Salem area
Awesome, I grew up in the Estacada area.
In Norcal and I can help with the I-5/Hwy99 Corridor between Redding and Oroville. Lots of elevation around the valley. Already working on getting a way to contact Chico from up in the mountains to the East. And my entire Lake Almanor basin now has Mesh. Pretty cool.
Well placed nodes could cover at least 10+ miles of I5. If you check sites like: meshmap.net/ We can estimate where there is some coverage is already.
You can set how many bits of precision your position sends. Google "meshtastic position_precision". Some example values from the docs are... 11: Large region, around ±11 kilometers 13: City-sized region, around ±3 kilometers 16: Neighborhood-level precision, around ±350 meters
Still using long fast but haven't made any contacts. Is everyone switching to medium fast?
The developer over at Meshtastic recommend people switch. However, for the part is seems that a lot are still on Long fast.
Subbed to follow topic
Whats the Telegram channel?
Here is the invite link: t.me/+Nfc0Y2b7KAMxY2Zh
Good overview!
lora via satellites hmmmm
There is a project out there for that.
I’ve heard that they have a tendency to disconnect from the device they’re paired with with. Is that true with your experience?
So far no, unless I walk too far away from the paired device.
@@EmCommSolutions good to hear. I’m wondering if those reports are from the first gen beartooth device. Thanks!
I manually enter my Lat and Long, mqtt turned on. Provide phone location to mesh off. See node on map, and it seems like my node is refreshing shortly after and my position is 0 an 0 for lat and long. 2.3.13 firmware. I cant get it to stick. Ideas?
I am going to have play around my setting and see if I have the same issue. Are you using Android or Apple?
@@EmCommSolutions Android. Setting up multiple nodes with one phone.
Ok, I think it has something to do with mqtt. I set two nodes to fixed locations and no matter what I do the lat/long remains the same as inputted.
@EmCommSolutions Roger, will try that. I wanted the nodes to shoe up on maps in general area to help promote mesh in this area.
I posted your question in my Telegram group and one of the members posted this. "I had that issue on a previous version and it took two reboots of the device. Upon the 2nd reboot waited 10 mins for the proper voltage reading to populate then tried again and it worked." I hope this helps you out.
I've had a set of these for a bit and they work great. Beartooth just opened up a public TAK server as well that was wicked easy to set up.
awesome say hello on the server!
I watched the video, but i'm a novice and haven't been able to follow the video well enough to figure out which menu buttons are used, as they fast click through entire process. There isn't any audio to explain it as well. Any help other than re watching the video 50 times more and pausing it 10 times as much.
@@BeartoothRadioInc Will do shortly! Looking forward to what you guys come out with next for ATAK!
@@bobsolla pausing it at key points was how I set it up
@@TrashcanMan8 Got it set up yesterday, thanks! It would've been a lot easier if they didn't fly through the install and dictate what steps they were doing.
How I find the community on telegram? Just search for EcommSolutions?
Shill. It’s $50 of parts for $1400+
If you could build two of these radios for $50 in parts. I will buy them from you all day long. However, that might be a little difficult with the Digi XBee SX 900 Module selling for $112 each and that is just the chip.
Another great video Jake.
Thanks!

Is there an ability to make a DIY system from the mesh network to function similarly as the beartooth?.. maybe not as advanced to do pictures but send messages and audio?..or send messages and pictures but not audio?.. in this attempt being similar to that of a beartooth but 1/5th the cost of that product.
Of course, Meshtastic radios are the best low cost option for build affordable mesh networks. I have a dozen Meshtastic radios and they work fine. They have limits like any radio and some people get a little overwhelmed by technical side of Meshtastic. Nonetheless, it all depends on what capabilities you need for your communication plan.
@@EmCommSolutions oh trust I've been watching and learning a lot... so far all I've seen is small messages through meshtastic (through LoRa)- I found out in the UK they have an audio band, but I wasn't sure if the U S. Has one in the 915 Mhz? ..or if there is even a radio sold in U.S. for 915 Mhz that I can connect a meshtastic to (making it mimic a beartooth with more than just text msg.
How do you make contacts? I can barely get my own devices to communicate consistently . Often have to create/update a channel and share it between devices to get them to talk again. RIght? you can only communicate unless all settings are the same on both ends?
Hey thanks for the question. While here in Albania I have only made one contact. In the states I have made a couple around my home there. The key if you are try to talk to other people is keep the default setting. Your radios will use other radios to hop no matter the settings but that radio won't see that message. I know a lot people are concerned about privacy but using the default is really the best to find other users. You can also search this website: meshmap.net/ Please let me know if you have more questions.
Their marketing is horrible and they constantly avoid actually answering technical questions about their product. Not thrilled with their responses to the point I wouldn’t even attempt to buy their product
I agree that their market could improve. What question do you have? I have a 60 page product information packet. Or you can checkout the technical information at FCC.io Here is the link: fccid.io/2AJY7011/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photos-R2-6377472
@@EmCommSolutions Are their cases 3D printed or molded?
@@endurancemarineexploration The cases made with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) using Nylon 12 which leave you with a strong, and durable case.
i just went and looked at the price... OOF.
Would love to see a video directly comparing this to a "top of the line" meshtastic device. Pros and Cons style Video . Great video btw
Great suggestion, I will add that to my content list.
Looking forward to seeing what else they can do,it's a nice A orC in your PACE plan if it works as advertised, maybe even a reserved secondary additional layer past meshtastic- Block Captain/ Squad Leader/ Augmentee kinda thing.
It’s an exciting scene for sure. Thanks for a great review.
Great video! Thank you!
Only just getting into this but i love it. I listen to shortwave alot and the idea of radio messages without mobile phone towers or Internet is great. Totally self reliant. I hope this takes off in a big way.
Good video brother. Just getting into Meshtastic, trying to bring a group of people from my area into it… 73
Outstanding, let me know if you have any questions.
