same. I'd like to put this together.

Gotennas were always going to be that way sadly

Sounds like they got to good, for the public's good! Then got a fat government contract, and cut off public support! Typical... The government doesn't want the public having Anything as good as what they have!

I came soooo close to jumping in with GoTenna. Sorry that happened to you.

I too am a victim of gotenna’s bait and switch system. Meshtastic was the first similar project to give me hope about off grid comms again

Same thing happened to one company that at the beginning was just one guy making long range transmitters and receivers for RC drone and then sold himself to military contracting as well Some people are just too greedy and will end up supporting militarism because that's where the big money is

Thank you so much! As soon as those holders arrive, I'll bring the listing back up! Stay tuned!

​@@The_Comms_ChannelPlease let us know here!

It’s something I’d like to hear more about

Yep me too@@Kook-a-mal

Sure thing! I'm glad you're finding the videos to be helpful! I try to go storm chasing each year and have seen what they can do first hand. I'm glad you're both okay and I hope this can help provide a way to take communication into your own hands! How many kits and holders would you need for your setup?

where I am... we have constant brown outs and blackouts from a old and failing grid.. and the price for electricity to use wifi keeps going up. Maybe someone could set up a collective for the sole purposes of installing and teaching people how to use these and fox them... mabye like a community wireless mesh network cooperative. Theses even a site to help set up funds for it... its called open collective

Id take 2 dual battery setup enclosures with solar​ capability. @The_Comms_Channel

how much are the kits ?

@@The_Comms_Channel I'm also interested in a kit or two.

VoltaicEnclosures On Etsy solar repeater will be available in about two weeks

Sure thing! How many kits and holders? I'll look into doing that.

@@The_Comms_Channel I can get an exact number if needed but rough guesstimate would be 6, depending on final price

@@The_Comms_ChannelI’d be interested in 2 kits most likely

@The_Comms_Channel I’d be interested in 5 kits with 2 battery holders (four total batteries)

Thanks! I'm glad my videos have been helpful!

Any update?

@@LifeSizeBox - RAK was back ordered on the WisBlock kits for a few weeks but I finally received everything. I designed and 3D printed the wedge shaped radome weather cover top of the enclosure and it looks good. I still need to finish designing and 3D printing the bottom of the roof mounted weather enclosure where the internal components mount, and where it mounts to the PVC pipe mounting pole. The 40 inch long 9 dB antenna will mount inside the PVC pipe below the battery and electronics, to protect the antenna and to hide it. I have the vent plugs but decided not to use them. There will be a very thin gap around the perimeter where the top enclosure mounts over the bottom enclosure and the two parts are screwed together from the sides. That forms a drip edge to prevent rain water from entering and that gap is too thin to allow bugs or anything else much larger than water vapor to enter and exit. Solar heating should make the inside slightly warmer than ambient to help drive the water vapor out of the enclosure. I can verify that because the WisBlock has slots for sensors and I bought the temperature and humidity sensor module for each. I've tested them, and they work. The four WisBlocks have been powered for a few weeks, while I'm trying to circle back and wrap up this fun project. I configured them for minimal chatter. Every 21 hours, they send their beacons to each other which I monitored using a software defined radio USB dongle and Gqrx software on my computer. There doesn't seem to be any Meshtastic traffic in my city of almost 500,000 people on LongFast. I programmed my private family network to be on a different frequency, selected in the ISM band based on it being in between two of the *many* regular burst transmissions, probably smart meters, as viewed in the Gqrx SDR software. It has an envelope display mode that accumulates peak values on the spectrum display to capture spurious transmissions.

Sure thing! I'm glad the setup is working well!
