adr, 1 month ago @RL_Dane I've got a couple of these and they're pretty nice little devices. Not a whole lot of Meshtastic activity in my city (about...four or five active nodes) but I really enjoy it. Fun hobby!

RL_Dane, 1 month ago @adr I heard something about differences if you have an Amateur Radio license (which I do, though I haven't been on the air in years). Do you get to use more power if you're a ham? What about restrictions (like concerning encryption)? Are you familiar with that?

adr, 1 month ago @RL_Dane I'm a ham myself, but I've never done ham mode on Meshtastic as it would make communication with non-ham nodes impossible.
