A Meshtastic node has been one of the toys of the moment over the last year, and since they are popular with radio amateurs there’s a chance you’ll already live within range of at least…
I think theres a small queue? Im not sure. I know it will attempt at telling you if the message is recieved if it can. But beyond a couple of hops, its anyone guess. Longfast looks like a lot of half made messages.
It works best if there isnt as many hops (as you can probably imagine).
From what im seeing, frequency is fine. I have seen different devices use lora to communicate pretty decent distances, if there is line of sight. Its decently reliable.
Meshtastic tells you if SOMEONE heard and repeated your message (the cloud icon). You don’t know if it has arrived to the intended destination. Unless you’re in direct range of each other, then you’ll see the person icon.
Do undelivered mesage queue and eventually come through? I would agree with the walkie talkie idea but would need longer range.
Edit: also, do different frequencies not affect much? Sorry for all the questions lol but i appreciate your time
