Meshcore 😎 you could see if there’s more density of MC around you.

There are 4 in my metropolitan area, and I don't have line of sight to any of them :(

There are about 30 meshtastic in the same area, but most of them are out of range to each other.

I even stood one up at work on the other side of town and mqtt'd them together.

edit: a'ight I put it on a t114. can't see anything from the house, track practice is 25mi away, lets see if there are any quiet core nodes out there.

edit: edit: Nothing at all. Which is a fing shame, the client is way nicer, it's better on battery. It's better on battery on the t114. The map is faster. I think it's probably a better product since you can kind of emulate the client/router setup and it can work like meshtastic. Maybe I'll leave my of my v3's running on it in the attic with a modest antenna upgrade.
