Advanced Meshtastic - Radio Configuration Part 1

Welcome to the first video in the Advanced Meshtastic Series. The Getting Started with Meshtastic Series was to get you up and running with a basic setting, but in this series we'll be getting into some of the more advanced things you can do with Meshtastic. For today's video, we'll be going over the Radio Configuration.

I sooo appreciate the effort you have put into teaching us! You have saved me a ton of money and mental anguish.

Your series finally kicked me over the edge and I got my first Haltec units last week. Their coil antennas suck, so now I’m looking for cheap/but good enough antenna replacements. Couldn’t even get 300M LoS with them. Looking forward to more in the series!

Great channel and Great series! I love when a new video comes out.

Less than 2 minutes into the video and already got the info I was hoping to find. Being able to set "Friendly" names for devices so I don't have to know who's texting from a random string of numbers and letter, lol. Skilling up on knowledge before I buy a few devices to set up my own network. Your channel has been incredibly helpful!

The video I've been looking for!!! Love the series. Keep em coming!!!

[InVinoVeritas.]

Great video & series!! Looking forward to getting my 1st mashtastic device in 2024, probably the LilyGo Echo & then smartwatch. Can't wait for review of the latter.

Thanks again!!

You are creating very informative and helpful reference. Thankyou.

Looking forward to this series. Very helpful information.

Thank you for these series! I’m learning so much and I want to feel well rounded in my knowledge before I purchase a few devices. My hope is to create a network over the span of an 80 mile valley with mountains to communicate with family in emergencies, but not rely on HAM radios or my family having any deep technical knowledge to communicate. That’s why I think meshtastic is so unique. All I will need to do is train my family on what settings to have turned on, and what channel to text in.

love these videos they helped me get started with my tbeams. keep them coming

[dkerlee]

that CLIENT_MUTE mode was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I noticed on the pcb board that these meshtastic work on. The “L” and the “H” when swapped, jump either to 433-470ish Megahertz to 858 to 929MHZ . just in case people have bought the wrong one can swap it over. I got stuck with it being the 929 and changed the pass through the resistor. Now I can use it multiple times areas. Making sure to wipe it after changing it immediately otherwise it will freeze.

Sooo useful!! Thanks a lot!
I'm playing part 2 in SECONDS from now 🗿

Wow, learned a lot from this video, thank you !

Question and comment:

In an earlier getting started video you mention that you will cover the Detection Module in a later video. I've not found it, and regardless of my choices for that modules switches, other than disabled, it sends "motion messages" to the mesh. It is sitting still with nothing that is moving by it.

Did you cover it, and where?

[gtorres]

I'm testing range, What's the lowest you would set your Broadcast interval to? Can I do 60 seconds?

[bobyrd]

Understanding channel encryption is easy since each channel gets it own PSK. But what about when you DM directly between nodes? Is that considered "Primary" channel and thus would use the primary PSK?

[thegrumpytexan]

Do the nodes in the mesh repeat any/all channels? Or just the ones they're programmed for?

[Wayne-Pr]

Thanks for the video I'm about to get into Meshtastic in 2024.

My question is assuming that this is being done by Bluetooth what stops someone else from accessing your device settings.
