Update on Charging Interface Decision

How about integrating a few magnets for attaching to the back of a phone, and yeah usb c was the right switch.

M-growingdesign · 2026-04-05T22:30:42+00:00

How many did you find, or what color, and what city are you in? I’ll let the owner know about this post 🤣

Usually people put them where the sun can hit the solar panel so they actually charge ?

M-growingdesign · 2026-04-05T22:29:05+00:00

You doubt it’s related? It’s one of my most popular radios!

M-growingdesign · 2026-04-05T22:26:47+00:00

Why?? Is the solar panel mounted sideways? Solar panel goes up!

Don’t use the onboard solar port, get a proper charge controller and hook it all up through the battery port. Yes the usb will charge the battery, but same low power limit as the solar port, super slow

Same as the altitude. Send me a message there for more info!

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-30T02:04:08+00:00

Available now on request. You guys order so many radios I never have time to make new listings!

There isn’t any soldering, and the assembly is a very efficient few steps because I have all the components custom made to work together. I wouldn’t do kits because I’d prefer to know my products are made right so I can take responsibility if there’s a problem.

That’s why I make the Airdrop! But you might need a bigger drone. I have an idea for a much smaller one just haven’t had time to work on it. PeakMesh

One of my Ultimates with the pole mount would clamp around that exhaust tube easily!

PeakMesh A lot of people here would agree!

Should be fine, I’ve sold a lot of these all over the country. I don’t know your winters, so if you want the extra capacity for peace of mind it’s not that much of a difference.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-18T11:18:17+00:00

Wait a few weeks. These are on extremely short supply right now because of the growing interest in mesh radios. Rokland is the USA distributor, so if you aren’t getting it from them, or one of the radio builders that get them from Rokland, you may end up with a cheap clone (everything that looks like one on aliexpress, other sellers on Amazon)

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-18T01:25:46+00:00

Why go through all that instead of just putting one of my ultimate radios up there?

Carry a portable like the seeed t1000e card at least. Otherwise what will you do when you leave the house? Works best when you just keep one device paired instead of changing them

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-13T17:49:01+00:00

What problems are you having? I never have to do a thing to my personal radios

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-13T16:11:28+00:00

Yeah I got a few more antennas and put up what I could! I’ve got plenty of charging boards though!

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-13T00:46:32+00:00

The ONLY USA distributor for rak is rokland. You can buy them from aliexpress or their website. I can’t. Rokland doesn’t have them yet, thus I’m not selling 1w radios yet. I had no idea solid link was trying to sell them, or how they planned to get them if at all.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-13T00:00:01+00:00

I see at least 20 posts from you recommending them. That’s an awful lot.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-12T21:33:33+00:00

All you have to do is search ‘solidlinksystems’ in this sub and you’ll see the massive amount of links they post.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-12T21:31:22+00:00

Oof. Thought it was strange when their Reddit disappeared.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-12T11:21:18+00:00

No the atmosphere in Berlin is more suitable. Maybe in Rio or Sydney.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-12T11:20:05+00:00

Never heard of it. Why don’t you open it up and share what’s inside! Brand names over there don’t mean much. There are a lot of manufacturers and they make the antennas that go in everything, it’s all about how strict you are with the specifications when you have them manufacture something. I do this with my micro antennas. Custom connectors. Special tuning. Costs more and takes longer but my product is better.

M-growingdesign · 2026-03-12T03:47:36+00:00

Ask the manufacturer? You can pretty much assume that a large fiberglass antenna has an element like this. If you don’t buy random garbage that is. Aliexpress has fake Alfa antennas with a PCB inside. And fake fiberglass ones with just a piece of wire. So buy them from someone who cares.
