So I bought some heltec V3 to get into meshtastic and I did a range test on the beach and in my neighborhood. I get 1 Km ai can’t get confirmation that the message was received on the meshtastic app
Context is I’m in 915 Mhz ism band. Neighborhood died have the forest and the beach was windy so lots of water particles in the air. And ill say I used the stock attennas. And I’m in standard long fast encoding
Is this typically performance
I would say get an antenna from an amateur radio store that knows antennas. Here in the United States, Rockland is a good choice.
A lot of the antennas that ship with these nodes by default are not properly tuned and therefore most of your power is not being radiated out of the antenna.
