    Im still trying to get to grips with Meshtastic. Is this just a text messaging device❓ Is it the number of nodes determines how far a message can be sent or not❓ What is the max distance you can send from one node to another❓ So if there are many other nodes placed out there can you send a text message sitting at home❓ How do you know which node you are sending to and in what direction❓

    the problem with this is that its easy to detect because it doesnt change the frequency, theres one radio that jumps 20ms which makes it hard to locate. thats good because in a lot of countries its illegal as encrypted and without license. its definitely better than normal ham radio but its still not optimal for shtf scenarios.

    It is often said encryption is against the spirit of ham radio. I personally don't subscribe to this perspective, but while doing research on DMR encryption I read a lot of vitriol for the whole concept of using encryption in amateur settings. I'm assuming this particular implementation is at least legal (most countries ban amateur encryption), but would be curious if any similar conversations are happening around it

    I'd wait a bit before trusting my life on it and see how secure it is in practice. It won't be the first time an encryption scheme got broken by some side-channel or implementation vulnerability.
    Even if the individual messages are strong encrypted attackers could find a way around that by messing with the communications and protocol and read along anyway.

    One time tables generated by a true random source are to my knowledge the only form of encryption that is by definition also genrating a random sequence of values in all asoects egually as random as the table as long as the no prior information between the two parties was exchanged in private and in person and only between two parties at most. No part if the table can be reusused.ever.
    This means that also this encryption method is undecipherable by any means possible, quantum or infinite time will bot help. It will merely give all possible messages/sequences. And thoae inclufe the full works ifbshakesspeare the bibble and Pi to arbitrary precision. Nullyfyjng the attempt to gain usefull unfo.
    Also after being used up, it must be physically be destroyed. Not merely erased or writen over with other info as that still leaves some info about the original table.
    Nowadays datastorage is not that costly anymore, even if in a form of laser etching into fragile materials sacrificing thre data density for certainty of being the completely get rid if the used up info. For plain texts, a llillte table goes a long way. And meetups once in a while are a must anyway.

A few users in my town use Meshtastic and we can see each other. We are within a mile of each other. In EU and uk 868 is 500mw effective isotropic radiated power.

    It's all a bit... low tech isn't it? VHF radios for emergency comms, I can get that, but this... All fun and games, but not where I'll put my money.

    How often do you get attention from the cops doing stuff like this?
