So I bought some heltec V3 to get into meshtastic and I did a range test on the beach and in my neighborhood. I get 1 Km ai can’t get confirmation that the message was received on the meshtastic app
Context is I’m in 915 Mhz ism band. Neighborhood died have the forest and the beach was windy so lots of water particles in the air. And ill say I used the stock attennas. And I’m in standard long fast encoding
Is this typically performance
I’ll second Rokland. This is a good one if you want some portability. 2.5 dBi Flex
I was about the same with default v3 antenna (1 km). Even a cheap sub-$10 one will get you 3+ km.
