I went down a reading rabbit hole with the recent Meshtastic posts, and decided to pick up 2 LILYGO T-Echo units to fuss around with. One for home base and one will go in my car kit, and out on the trails.

Very excited for them to arrive!

Nice, enjoy it. If you have any questions let me know. To get the best range make sure to replace the antenna, Here are some recommended by Meshtastic Team. https://adrelien.com/best-antenna-for-meshtastic/

Thanks! I ordered 2 of the Gizont 17cm soft whip antennas, those had seemed to be well rated and commonly to spec.

Are they back in stock? I’ve looked off and on for months and every time they’re back ordered, and I refuse to pay scalper prices.

Must be, I bought straight from them.
