@J Did you ever get the Link I sent you in Msgs? There are two icons at the top of the screen. A Bubble and a Bell. Click on the Bubble to see messages:

I wonder what kind of range is possible with a 33k ft repeater? Any reported contacts?  

@TX Programmer Looks like a Nooelec broadcast FM filter might be needed to keep powerful local stations from adding interference. https://www.amazon.com/Flamingo-FM-Broadcast-Bandstop-Applications...

Thanks! Yes, the reviews on many others (at least on Amazon) were unfavorable. But this one appears to have numeous positive reviews. Guess we'll see...  

Have tried other amps before, but not this one. The other unit I tried didn't really give me such a great functional advantage in terms of reaching sources I could not otherwise reach, to make it w...

I try to do this on each flight I am on. I will typically send something like this: ✈️ SW1524 33k ft This is my flight number and altitude if available.  

Any opinions on this? https://www.amazon.com/Nooelec-Lana-Accessories-20MHz-4000MHz-Capability/dp/B07XNLJ9X2?pd_rd_w=Exn3Q&content-id=amzn1.sym.bb21fc54-1dd8-448e-92bb-2ddce187f4ac%3Aamzn1.sym...

@TX Programmer that *does* strike me as odd. I guess it's worth talking to the ATAK dev team about it; I can't imagine they've never thought about a Linux port before.

That's a great question. I don't see a Linux TAK client - strange as that is. There is a linux TAK server, but oddly this doesn't come with a TAK client. It expects Android, Windows or iOS clients ...

@J Sorry for the delay in my reply. :-/ You can go diectly here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/ to get an image you can install with the built-in Raspi Imager (under acces...

@Kirk It has been verified by one other to work just fine. But I don't know about what future sudo apt upgrade's might do. So instead (BACKUP FIRST), I started from scratch with a standard RasPi i...

New to Meshtastic and have the NOMAD and like Sigmund, first thing I did was update the PI which broke things. I did a back up of the SD card and now when I power on all I get is a blank screen ot...

Is there a way to install atak onto the nomad itself instead of once again through going through like the Android phone or any of that stuff? Or would it not work? what stuff would be missing for a...

You can definitely have it run as a standalone unit. In that capacity it would essentially do what its name says... it will act as a relay for other devices and extend the range of the network. If...

Hello, I was just wondering if you can use the relay as a stand alone unit, or if you would actually have to have 2 units for it to work? Does it just act like a regular router or repeater with dev...

@Daniel_spec5 Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I've seen Zachmann's article. But it didn't appear to be very consistent; and the NanaVNA is "affordable". 🙂   I'm most interested in getting the antenna impedance closely matched to 5...

We have a NanoVNA. I haven't tried it but there are ways to use an SDR as an antenna analyzer. You just need to have something to calibrate it against. 

Which antenna analyzer do your people use? I'm considering the NanoVNA-H4. Thanks!  

The radio boards inside are different. The Trekker uses the Lilygo T-Beam while the Bravo uses a radio board from Heltec. Customers have reported higher GPS accuracy on the Bravo but slightly less ...
