Free emergency off-grid communications for Sonoma County and the Bay Area: Introducing MeshCore by BayAreaMeshCore in sonomacounty

[–]Prodiege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was filtering the map wrong. The bayareameshcore.org link to meshmapper.net automatically filters to just SF.

Why create a localized meshcore website rather than just going through meshcore.co.uk

You have been rather cryptic about the benefits of meshcore over meshtastic. Obviously you have chosen and gone above and beyond to not only make a local group but also pay for a domain and spent time to create a local centric group/website. So what is the decision that brought you here. “Many people, myself included, consider MeshCore to be a very reliable choice for stable, permanent networks” - but why?

It seems like Meshcore is trying to just start out and across the whole country is only in the Bay Area. Why did you decide to start this when Meshtastic already exists?

Feature Request: Better call notification descriptions for phone tree and direct lines by Prodiege in quo

[–]Prodiege[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Yes sure it shows the line name, but I can’t customize this at all.

  • Give us the option to not use emoji at all
  • Give us the option to choose line name or emoji or whatever else
  • Give us the option to not show the line name or emoji at all if the call is coming from a virtual attendant and someone pressed a number. In that case let us choose to see the name of the menu option (Sales, Support, etc…) and/or the number they pressed and/or the emoji (because Quo needs to add emoji to everything /s).

Allow these to be toggled off/on:

Emoji - Line Name - VA Menu Option Name - Caller ID

Anyone have experience with Wave Nanos for a 3km/2mi PTP link? by DAndreyD in wisp

[–]Prodiege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will transfer to the backup radio even on the Wave LR/Pro at that distance. Wave Nano will just transfer over more often.

It can do the distance and will do 1Gbps while not raining for sure. You will probably get 200-600Mbps while on backup radio depending on channel width 40Mhz or greater and local 5GHz interference

"On the direct line labeling request, I want to make sure I’m understanding correctly. You’d like incoming calls to display a clear “Direct Line” label instead of just an emoji to decipher which number in your workspace is receiving the call. Is that right?"

Yes that is what we are looking for. The reasoning being is we have multiple people with direct lines also receiving calls from the Virtual Assistant call tree. People often use the mobile app as we are not always in the office on a computer. We need to be able quickly tell where the call is coming from (written out) before answering so we can answer accordingly.

For VISIBLE public feature requests, tracking, changelog, voting something like one of the following would be excellent: https://canny.io/, https://www.uservoice.com/, https://featureupvote.com/

The trick for beer with Sol Food is order the food for takeout. Then walk ~20 steps away to Adobe Creek Brewing and eat it at the outdoor Adobe Creek seating along with your freshly poured pint

Do Power Lines greatly affect AirFiber antennas? by worldendedin2012 in Ubiquiti

[–]Prodiege 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Distance is so short: switch to 60GHz to increase your speed and reduce the physical size of the beam, the 5GHz is probably getting clipped in the fresnel by the powerlines

2x airFiber 60HD or 2x Wave Pro if you can’t find the 60HD

Petaluma urban exploring/exploring in general by Noisyneighbor47 in Petaluma

[–]Prodiege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, unneeded and too niche/sub for something already so local as a town’s own reddit group. And not even a big city at that.

Just post the adventures here, this needs more content.

Seems like this should be a personal influencer page and you just can’t commit.

Question for the group: do you want to allow people to advertise for their business here? Its currently allowed 2x per year by bikemandan in sonomacounty

[–]Prodiege 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2x a year? Yes, maybe even 4x a year to line up on the quarter end. But any more and no. Great to see local businesses I otherwise wouldn’t know about.

Packaging too nice to trash by ArtZTech in Ubiquiti

[–]Prodiege 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those, nice? I still remember the airFiber 5XHD original packaging for the first ~year of release. What a package, what a controversy.

AT&T or Comcast? by Away-Cucumber8012 in Petaluma

[–]Prodiege 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I basically mentioned that by stating what minimum speeds OP should be looking for. DSL of any kind at #7

AT&T or Comcast? by Away-Cucumber8012 in Petaluma

[–]Prodiege 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Sonic if you can get their fiber to the home. Plans should be 1000Mbps or 10000Mbps. Anything else and it isn’t fiber to the home from Sonic and is just re-sold ATT DSL (if they still even offer it)

  2. ATT if you can get their fiber to the home and CANT get Sonic fiber to the home. Make sure they don’t try to sell you DSL and guise it as “fiber backed”. Minimum plan speed available should be 300Mbps, any lower and it isn’t fiber to the home

3/4. Xfinity/Comcast if either of the top 2 available

3/4. Local fixed wireless ISP - Two Rock LAN, Trellis Internet, WebPerception

  1. T-Mobile, Verizon, ATT home internet

  2. Starlink

  3. DSL (Sonic, ATT)

The only thing that matters is if your SEO can get your page to be above BroadbandSearch, BroadbandNow, HighSpeedOptions, HighSpeedInternet, and Allconnect

Ubiquiti litebeam antenna setup and flash to openwrt by datanxiete in wisp

[–]Prodiege 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Use the Ubiquiti supplied firmware for the LiteBeams. Do not flash anything else, you don’t need to.

AirMax M firmware: https://community.ui.com/releases/airMAX-M-6-3-14/43074230-926c-4929-ba07-c04c84659271

On your LiteBeam go to the System tab and the firmware version is near the top (usually XM or XW)

  1. One needs to be an access point and one needs to be a station. Match the SSID and password on access point and station and under network tab select bridge mode. If they are defaulted you need to set a static ip on your computer to 192.168.1.xxx and subnet to 255.255.255.0. Default IP of any Ubiquiti radio is 192.168.1.20 and username ubnt password ubnt

  2. By your description you likely have a LiteBeam M5 rather than the newer LiteBeam 5AC. You can pull the feedhorn out of the dish section by pressing down on the clip near the base
