If its over HF, its global coverage. But depends on antenna, time of day, frequency, Etc. Great stuff! Maybe APRS to meshtastic bridge might be the way to go too..
I have this working 99% now it seems. Mesh to js8call works perfect every time but js8call to mesh I've only been able to get a couple of messages passed. Guessing it's an fldigi issue. If I try to open it in the pi it opens and then disappears right away.
Awesome, I love to hear this. Fldigi isn’t very reliable, idk why. One of those things I’ve got to work on. The code works, fldigi is temperamental. For JS8call I connect directly for best results

Next time, turn your phone 90 degrees.
Yeah didn’t think about it till it was too late but next time I’ll make sure it’s horizontal
What kind of range and bandwidth are you able to get out of it?
Just depends on your antenna and band conditions but not uncommon for people to get 200 miles from NVIS qrp(low power)
@@TheWatchMker that's great to improve the usability of meshtastic and bridge gaps due to lack of nodes.
Does the raspberry pi need internet or is it truly off grid
@@levi5548 truely off grid, no internet needed
@@TheWatchMker awesome, fairly new ham here trying to get it all figured out
