One thing I saw about enclosures in wet environments is purposely butting an open hole in the bottom of the enclosure, the theory being that water is going to get in at some point, so you may as well allow it to drain. They do this on showers, which obviously are in very wet environments, but it might not be worth it if you don't see pretty constant rainfall. I'm going to cite Big Clive here on RUclips because I seem to remember it from a video where he took apart the pump box of a normal shower.

Can you do WinLink with it?

Gratuitous routers are a problem we are battling in the Phoenix to Tucson mesh and it is incredibly frustrating trying to educate people (or tricking the Router_Client folks to upgrade firmware). I thank you for making this kind of video (and others like it). The best explanation is that Clients do managed flood routing and routers and repeaters do brute force flood routing. Clients are smart and routers (and repeaters) are dumb. Clients wait a period of time before rebroadcasting inversely proportional to signal strength (plus a small random number). If they barely heard the signal they rebroadcast first. If they heard the signal very strongly, they wait the longest before broadcasting. If during the wait period, they hear 3 other radios rebroadcasting the same message, they never rebroadcast. This allows the most distant stations to eat hops before the closer stations. I tell people the question should not be "am I at the highest location in my area?" but should be "Can I see two meshes which cannot see one another except through me"?. In that use case Client would not rebroadcast if it hears 3 other radios do so first but all of those 3 could be from the same sub-mesh and the might never get to the other sub-mesh. Only if you are bringing new radios to the mesh is the cost of introducing more dumbness to the routing worth it, I think you do discuss this in more detail on your web page. While I reading it I was a bit taken aback by your comment about routers needing to see multiple counties until I realized about 8 and a half of your 95 counties in Tennessee could fit into one of our 15 counties in Arizona.

Is there a location where one could search for meshes on-line?

Hello goodnight! I really enjoyed following the instructions in this video to set up the admin channel and it was actually a great help! And now I come to ask you to make a new one for the new administrator functions in firmware version 2.5! Well, I'm trying to get it to work and I'm not succeeding... either it's a bug or I'm missing something in the settings! Thank you very much

Even without any interest in APRS and phone pairing, this looks like it could be a good value option for a full featured quality HT. CHIRP programmability is always a plus.

What have I stumbled across? My algorithm has been mostly laser engraving and Arduino stuff, now it’s steering me towards whatever these are 😅

Love the videos, can you do one on wiping/factory reset of the wisblock?

Wondering how this compares with the btech uvpro

We don't actually talk about the best way to set them up. It's fun to watch tho!

This is great. Hoping lots of folks see this and take action!

I am curious what the usefulness of being able to view txt documents that are preloaded with pause breaks to accommodate the limitations of the TX length would be.

Is there an unlock for this radio? Openning this up into a dual band 70cm/2m would be a game changer

I cannot change frequency slot on 868mhz. Theres only slot 1

Awesome video, I’d like to see some urban scenarios. I’m in Seattle and would like to put a router on a large building. I also want to place enough clients around to relay, but don’t want to mess up the mesh

Can you make a video explaining the possible use to triangle signals in the mesh, for lost and found for example. Thanks for the content

Got mine today!!!

I can't wait to get one of those! How big of a solar panel does the charger take?

Thanks! Great visualization of good node setups.

Really well done. 🫡

Need plug-n-play compatibility with ATAK CIV, portable, solar rechargeaable. Currently meshtastic a little cumbersome and confusing for average consumer. Something built to power on and connect to ATAK meshtastic plugin without configuring anything other than network name/login, would greatly imporove the reach and use of this technology

Great demo. I dont have any meah devices yet, but us there a way to whitelist CLIENT_MUTE nodes on a CLIENT to act as a private router? Or some similar config where you might have some personal nodes on C_M and you only want to repeat your nodes? Maybe this is a trivial scenario

Thank you! A new user, this was very useful and appreciated information.

Have you heard about the FCC's latest proposal for rulemaking WT Docket No. 24-240 to take a portion of the 900 MHz band away from amateur radio operators? This would affect Meshtastic users. RUclips user K0LWC has a great video explaining it.

Great presentation. I'm changing the configuration of my nodes accordingly.

Damn you live in the most beautiful part of the US. Congrats!!!

I can’t reach the nodes in my area on medium fast and they are all switching to MF from long fast because they say the next software will myMF the default I could reach them on long fast

Thaaank you! Will change my “router” in a great but not router-worthy location to “client”. ✌️

Perfect timing for this video, thanks! Have just spent all afternoon driving around the hills wondering why I can't see my remote nodes.

Thank you! Ive run into an issue using Client_Mute where packets are not acknowledged back in the app but the signal is received. Any advice here?

Question: You initially demonstrated the 'ideal' router scenario, then went on to show an improper config. How does Meshtastic devices 'know' that there is another router taking the hop count(s)? For instance, bounce 3 became bounce 2, but if it already received the data (as previously demonstrated), why wouldn't it re-broadcast as 3 vs. 2 and so on?

Thank you for the video! One thing I have not seen a good explanation of is tracker mode. The scenarios I would use are tracking individuals in town at an event, tracking kids in a neighborhood, and tracking while camping or hiking. Even if we are on a private channel/encryption key, I worry about flooding the mesh.

isnt meshtastic calculate the smallest route anyway? so if you have 50nodes between A and B the packets will only use the nodes that are most efficent and low count to reach the final destination.

Thank you for the great explanation. Layer 2 routers actually have tables so they know what to forward, because they are part of that link. Question - has anyone set up nodes with Yagi antennas? Four nodes with four antenna's on the same roof, Each antenna only RX/TX in one cardinal direction: N,E,S,W The nodes communicate with each other. electrically not using RF since each Yagi is "blind" to the other three not in that Yagi's line of sight.

What clockwork device is that? Love your Chanel and videos!

Was the fact that you had drone footage in Ramsay a concidence? We have a group here wanting to set up a mesh. If you know more than I do about the area, I would like to meet with you.

so can the node and routers or whatever you call them be found? or is this a complete anon way of communicating?

So would you want to be on Client mute if you're going to be around other nodes like at a festival, or keep it default as client? Thanks.

Scenario: I'm setting up the first node in an area. Can't find anything else around in range. What role should it be?

Great breakdown! Keep the good info coming.

This is it, this is the info I needed, thanks so much for making this!

I'm new to matchstick but if I remember right they change the protocol to try to send packets to the farthest nodes you have a good signal to to try to keep wasted hops down to a minimum. And I could be wrong on this but is it recommended to increase your hops allowed to the maximum of 7 if you're trying to go a long distance add densely populated mesh Network?

Could you do a video on how to get the python CLI setup in Linux or in a Linux VM? My python CLI on powershell crashes the node and doesn’t work.

Neato! That definitely helps for deployment options Out of curiosity, are there actual mesh routers in S.TN? Like Cleveland, Etowah, Ooltewah, etc? I'm curious because I can see some of those mountains from my house...

This was a great explanation, thank you for doing this!

Thank you, very helpful. I learned something new today.

Excellent video! Thank you for your clear and concise educational videos.

For vehicles does it make more sense to call them “tracker” role?

Mqtt just jams everything up

Does it make sense to change the default role to client_mute? I assume most users set the locale and leave the defaults.
