February 16th 2026 Note:
Meshtastic has been fairly unreliable for sustained comms locally and across the 50 mile radius.
After snow melts, we will begin work migrating to meshcore as a test. In the meantime, we are starting work to test meshcore in parallel with meshtastic.
Community Notes
As noted in the documentation, please avoid using ROUTER or REPEATER node within the mesh.
