#MeshCore crisis! For unknown reasons, reception SNR suddenly dropped about 10 dB and has stayed on this level for days. Noise floor is unchanged. Repeater is a #Seeed #SenseCAP Solar with a build-in 868MHz filter from www.mesh-up.nl (TX limited to 20 dB […] [Original post on mstdn.dk]

More followup on my #MeshCore adventures: Noise floor is still at a very acceptable level (can you spot when I added the filter? ;-)). The list of neighbors is now at 24, possibly with a couple of flukes. I can almost believe 30km, but 145km seems way off. I'm […] [Original post on mstdn.dk]
