Quite a milestone for Czech #Meshcore: Bohemia and Moravia functioned as two islands, because crossing the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands is not exactly easy. But today, the connection has been established. The two islands are beginning to function as a single network.
@jan_petrus someone has to start it in the area. 😉 A well-located repeater (on a hill, high building) can cover a large area and connect it with other regions.
@jan_petrus I'm in Zdarské vrchy. Unfortunately, it's in the hills. I tried it last year at home, but without success. Maybe now is the right time? I see someone in Zdar nS.
@zoufalec @jan_petrus if there is no repeater in your area, it won't work. Companions (the clients) have a reach up to 3km (5 in ideal conditions). It isn't enough to reach a remote repeater, especially in hills. You would need a repeater on a hill/high building/chimney with a good antenna and clear view to connect your area to the network. In the Meshcore app there is a useful feature: you can pick a spot on map, set how high the repeater would be and it would calculate the reach.
@jan_petrus then you should also see the repeater in Orlické hory and a repeater with a solid antenna should reach it. The Meshcore mobile app has a useful feature: you can pick a spot on map, set how high the repeater would be and it will calculate signal coverage.
@miroslavbucek because everyone around me is switching from MT to MC. I have no experience with MT, but from what I read and heard from others MT doesn't scale. I'm not really interested in keeping contact with friends in the same area, I could get a simple walkie talkie for that. What interests me is building a larger, country-wide mesh network. Hardly possible with MT, quite doable with MC. I can already chat with someone in Pilsen over MC. Good luck achieving that with MT. In practice MT can do 7 hops max, I've already received messages with 14 hops on MC, theoretically it can do 64.
@miroslavbucek IMHO MC community will be bigger than MT in Czechia this year if it already isn't. And it basically started here just last year. The shift is strong and quick.
