Field Notes
How far does off-grid mesh actually reach?
Measured numbers from SoCal chaparral field tests, why range compounds with every device, and how to read any vendor's range claim.
The two-device rule: why off-grid comms only work in pairs
Radios talk to radios. Why one mesh device is a paperweight, and how every device you add extends the whole group's range.
Do you need a license for off-grid mesh texting?
In the US, no. What the license-free 915 MHz band is, how it differs from ham and GMRS, and what changes when you travel.
