  • I had tried all my power sources and even tried powering the transmitter block using a second supply without luck. Thinking about it, the issue wasn’t reboots, it seems like it would get stuck and the heartbeat light would stop flashing (sometimes on, sometimes off) and then I’d have to reset for it to work again. It was cool seeing the range it had whenever I could get it to work for 30 minutes lol


  • Bummer! I was there when they went up and even got to catch them while out on the lake in the cell service dead zone directly offshore from Toronto. Seems like the mesh is pretty healthy at least! I remember carrying a lot of traffic across the harbourfront when I would anchor out there.

    Once I’m back in Halifax I’ll see if a newer version of meshtastic can fix the reboot issues I was having with my RAK 1w node. Next time my mast comes down I’ll run 12v up there and have it permanently mounted 17m above sea-level.





  • Never heard of this before and I used to always have roaming on with my can-us plan. But my use case is a lil weird as I actually need the longer range. When H+ is all I’m getting that’s because I’m many KMs offshore with land just barely in sight after raising my phone half way up my mast. Excited for Bell’s direct to cell service so I’m not supporting Starlink through Rogers when I’m 100km from shore in between NB and the Magdalen islands.
