@Kirk Take a look at this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/908800/what-does-this-apt-error-message-download-is-performed-unsandboxed-as-root I'm going to try the procedure myself from scratch and...

Hello, I finally found time to work on this again. Cerated a new image on a new sd card went through the above install steps with no issues until  I ran: "sudo apt install ./meshtasticd_2.5....

SpecFive will soon be announcing a partnership with a wonderful group of HAM operators. They run a non-profit and we'll be providing them with very discounted long-range S5 Relay systems. That will...

@Joe I think we need to get an airline to agree to mount a small repeater on a few of their tranports. I realize the regularatory requirements may be insurmountable. But if this could be acomplishe...

@Robert Thats very kewl! I'm just wondering what sort of mile radius a repeater at 35k ft can cover. Like maybe 600-800 miles perhaps?

@Sigmund Yes, I made a contact with a ham in Indiana. He was in the flight path and I was at 35k feet.

Received the nooelec unit and have it working with a Nomad. The good news is:1. It requires mini-USB power, but it conveniently powers off the Nomad itself. 2. It comes with a female to female conn...

@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...
