All of this all of the time please. Thank you.

Where did you get that waterproof grey case? 3d printed cases aren't that water resistant

Is there any plans to add the option of sending audios in the chats?

[MrtrenchTrucker]

I've had a difficult time getting location sharing working this way. Everything else seems to work like chat and basic COT sharing. Any advice?

Are the 2 OD Green devices build components listed on a forum somewhere?

[presidentelectjerryodom]

Does new plug also have the position feature or tracker features also? very good work thanks

Hello, I followed all the steps but when I go to load the plug in in fails.

[Utfard]

Thank you for the info ! Excellent video. Can you please link the green box case for the device ? I am looking for such a case where I can install ISM band antenna.

Can we expect a wintak plug in for meshtastic nodes? I've been looking around and there doesn't seem to be any support for it.

So what role should we set our radios to? TAK? Are their disadvantages to this role as far as making contact with other "outside" nodes?

Question: Say you have 2 friends, and you have connection to one, but not the other, but your friend has a connection to both you and that other friend. As a result of the mesh, would you be able to see both of their positions on the ATAK map since technically you should be able to reach that other friend by way of a bounce through your other friend, or do you have to have direct contact?

Another example that comes to mind is setting up a repeater node, and having 2 people who are connected indirectly via that repeater, would they still appear on your ATAK map and be available for messaging?

Followed all the steps and am able to succesfully broadcast markers between devices. Chat and live position sharing doesnt work tho. Any ideas? Thanks. Would love more in depth info on the integration with ATAK, since its my specific usecase for SAR. Could "non-live" voice communication in by sending audio files become a possibility?

[bnjmn]

Does it also support sharing of CoT points?

[MyTubeUtoo]

Very cool. I'm loving Meshtastic. Thanks.

[funwiththefamily]

what about the apple iTAK, i see there is an option for mesh networing on that one but does it work with meshtastic?

[dacdac]

I got mine set up with atak, and 3 nodes. They message and show location of the different devices. When anything else sends the node its attached to gets a fatal error #11 and has to be reset. Any icons, points etc cause this. I was just wondering if this is normal with where the development is at or if I am doing something wrong.

Question, I see a lot of modded software/firmware whatever you’d like to call it for the quansheng uv-k5(8) handheld radio. Since Meshtastic allows for transmission around the 433 frequency, is it possible to flash a handheld radio with Meshtastic?

[chriss]

What case is that on the heltec at top left of video?

[bobsmith-zelw]

I have 3 meshtastic devices updated and communicating in the meshtastic app, when I pull up atak and load the plugin I get the green Meshtastic Icon but I still cant send messages within the atak app. Any ideas? All the devices are set as the TAK currently from Client. Still nothing. Thanks in advance.

Does this share the tbeam or meshtastic device gps data once it finds satellites or only atak forwarder does that ?
