    Can't wait to get my first message on this thing about my car's extended warranty.
  • @FPVSlacker
    It should be used as such: Encourage as many people as possible to install in their attic for low cost. A small solar panel and lithium battery will allow the network to remain in place in power outages. Joining the mesh will allow access to the mesh. The mesh will carry encrypted data from users on the network. Encryption keys will be used like phone numbers. Individuals may communicate outside normal networks, with strong encryption preventing the ability of government snooping or censorship. Yes government tyrants, I'm talking about YOU.
  • The things I'm learning on this channel are really exciting. I've never been a tech guy, but seeing what can be done with this stuff has changed what I do in my spare time. Thanks for all of these videos, and I look forward to watching more in the future. You now have a new supporter.
  • @dancoyle6911
    I’ve been watching prepper/ham radio videos for a few months now and this is the most intriguing idea I’ve come across in them. Thank you for the information
  • @krikka1
    Great video Josh, let’s continue to experimenting on this powerful mix of LoRa and mesh networks! 👍 I’m waiting next videos 👏👏
  • @thewebmaster1
    Excellent tutorial and sharing of essential knowledge in the age of hyper-surveillance. Also good for the revival of interest in ham, cb, and other types of radio aficionado niches. If digital tech fails, analogue and radio will save us
  • @ricks4361
    Just getting into this comms stuff and hearing about this. Wow!! And even though this is an older video you do a Gr job as always presenting the info in such a way it’s ez for NOOBs to understand. Thanks again.
  • @Mike-mp1hk
    Just got mine in the mail today, so stoked to set it up.
  • @pablod6872
    As always, another good video from HRCC. Even if this isn't something that I would use, I appreciate learning about new radio tech.
  • @neiloler
    Thanks for making this video, I’ve been looking into this, your perspective is a good data point. As you play around more, I’d love to learn along with you!
  • @geartech3860
    Thanks for explaining I always wondered what these things were for. They look so cool just didn't no what they were for. Nice to see a video that shows how to use it and what they do.
  • @rv6amark
    Interesting! Two years ago I didn't really understand Mesh Networks. Today, I have a couple of mesh networks in my home, and it appears I will be experimenting with this as well. Thank you for making this video.
  • This is pretty cool! I've been wanting to set up a basic mesh network for my property to monitor the charge of solar batteries that charge electric fences. There seems to be a lot of value to these kind of long range blue tooth systems.
  • @LoveWins
    I just might start buying these like a few each month and setup my own private network around my house. I love up on a mountain in the woods so this would be cool to setup in my area and allow some of my friends and neighbors to connect. This is a fun little hobby
  • @BryanChance
    I've always been interested in hamm radio. Good to find this channel!!
  • @Eyes0penNoFear
    I've never heard of this before. It's definitely something I want to learn more about!
  • @ahmedmanajid
    I remember following a project that used the lora to setup repeaters like this in puerto rico? They launched them in floating rubber ducks.
  • @haatemee6966
    I'm an outdoorsy person along with a bunch of friends, I can see this being in our backpacks to set up a network when we're out and about. Cool vid, thanks for sharing 😁
