    Is that 5-10 KM range based on frequencies available in the US, or worldwide?

      It’s achievable by any frequency supported by Meshtastic. The average range you can expect, with good LoS, is between that 5-10km range.

      However, if you have different circumstances you can expect less or even far above the average.

      The range test article above shows the current record for a successful ping/chirp to another node (Point to Point, no additional hops). It’s at 254km currently :)

        Can you outline generally which frequencies are for which countries? I could not find those details.

        Or which frequencies are better for which use cases? (urban housing vs bush hiking. )

        Looking for Australian specific details too.

        Very interesting tech.
