Respecfully, anytime I see something like this or people claim meshtastic/core is the “way of the future” I just cringe.
Yes, mesh has it’s uses, but for the cost you can pick up decent GMRS or MURS gear that will give you 10x the range (yes, I understand GMRS can only have up to 1 second dara burst every 30 seconds, manually operated).
I personally don’t see the hype over mesh that other systems can’t do other than form factor.
Mesh in itself is not that useful, but it’s one of the few options that you can use to legally encrypt your communication. Most things that touch (Amateur) Radio/CB will only allow cleartext.

Could you not just have an application that runs your intended text through a cipher and then send that? It’s still just cleartext when sent, but gibberish for people other than who it is intended for.
scared of: “new node test” “test seen” “hello from [city]” “recieved in [other city]”
LOL “scares cell carriers” come on now. We all enjoy a bit of clicbait but this is egregious. 😆
Haha yeah its a bit much. Still a decent video. Does the community care if i makeva new title for the post? I usually keep it the same to respect the maker of the video.
- No it doesn’t scare mobile phone networks.
- Radio amateurs who are testing this are reporting all manner of issues.
- The source code was forked and people got their noses out of joint.
- I see no evidence that this will scale anywhere near the penetration of mobile phone networks.
- It shares the LoRA frequency bands that are miniscule compared with the spectrum use of mobile phones.
Meshtastic did not get forked. You’re thinking of MeshCore, which has had some issues with rogue devs resulting in a fork.
Yeah, you are correct, I updated my reply.
When did it get forked?
Also to me this is def a hobby and would have to get MUCH better at the hop/messaging system to come close to competing with anything. I liked the video for showcasing some of the capabilities. But the title is a bit silly.
Reply updated.
Point 1 - was thinking the exact same that put me off even watching it. There is no way this system could even match mobile networks from decades ago.
It’s not a teaspoon to give up our anything but we have to be realistic with what we can and want to achieve with this.
I usually just get some cheap helteks (last I checked 2 for less than 50?) when people first start out. Then get the other stuff later.
Yeah. Price is mostly Muzi’s 3D printed case.
I actually bought a cheaper Muzi case from Etzy. Never arrived, tried to use Etzy’s policy to get my money back. Seller was able to somehow veto it. Never got my money back, never got my piece of plastic.
Etzy and Muzi suck and never using those again.
Did you try issuing chargeback?
