I’m just digging in to it and setting up “Rnodes” with my heltec v3’s and sending files and voice is cool.

The nomad network is a markdown internet, and it all works over Lora or any other network.

Lots to learn still but it looks promising as a mesh data network.

    How do you find people with the same connection settings? If I understand correctly you need to use the same frequency, bandwidth, spreading factor, and coding rate to mesh up. So it seems impossible to do unless you already coordinated with someone you know.

      The frequency and bandwidth are set per area pretty much the same as meshtastic. As far as connecting to people Lora is just one way to build the network and the rnodes should all work together.

        Is there a chart you’re referencing for that? I haven’t seen anything about what areas use what bandwidth settings. I obviously know that US is 915mhz and I have a t-beam, but there are a lot of channels in the 915 band and I also have no idea what bandwidth people typically use. For meshtastic I only ever ended up using it between my own devices with a randomly picked bandwidth.

        Edit: I found it: https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/wiki/Popular-RNode-Settings

        I think Meshtastic had a similar page where people would try to coordinate settings, but I feel like there needs to be a scan mode or something that can find other people’s channel settings without needing internet access would really help in an off grid scenario.
