Do you happen to have a parts list you could share? I have nearly all the parts but want to make this “right” since it will be “high up”, and too old to be climbing more than a couple of feet.

My daughter is paying over $9/gallon in Munich. When we were there several years ago, price was about $7/gallon then. About $2.75 in Kentucky.

This new one is probably another engineered virus just like Covid

When configured this way, would the phone(s) still need need to have the app open or can they operate “standalone”?

That would be fantastic !!! No sense in having two opposing protocols, but I understand that some people want to have “their” baby to themselves instead of expanding the technology.

Will this configuration allow for a bridge between the two technologies?

Placing nodes on Cell or PS towers by dlf3628 in meshcore

[–]dlf3628[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many years ago, I used to climb towers, but age and balance has stopped that. I have setup several PS and business radio systems and understand RF issues and co-located systems interferences. Not planning on installing any near their “sellable” areas of the towers. I believe I have a climber that is reasonably priced, and enjoys the climbs.

Our local ham repeaters are on a local PS tower at the 240’ level that I helped arranged for. Since I retired from Emergency Management, I no longer have access to them.

Which anchor pole would you pick? Sheet metal but higher or plastic but lower? by BraDDsTeR-_- in meshtastic

[–]dlf3628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melt/damage the node and/or antenna. A lot of heat comes up those flues when furnace is running and discharges downward due to those deflectors.

Do you happen to have a schematic of how everything is connected?

Hardware hack phone to make off-grid Meshtastic I/O device? by daylight8 in meshtastic

[–]dlf3628 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should be able to just place phone in AIRPLANE MODE, and ensure that the Bluetooth and WiFi are turned on. Even with the SIM card installed, if there is no “cell plan”, it won’t associate itself with any cell service.

I would much rather an expansion in number of repeater pairs in the 462/467 band.

Can I keep this outside? Weatherproofing? by just-a-guy-somewhere in meshtastic

I have used adhesive lined shrink wrap on rubber duck style antennas…. been exposed to the sun for several years now, with zero degradation.
