I'm impressed. Im in North London, not picked up anyone else at all. I'll try for Moorgate from a hill! I got onto your cluster a couple of weeks ago while hiking over Brickendon golf course with my T-echo, that was 5 something km, pretty good! T-echo much better on the 2.2.19 firmware, flickering screen has stopped. Keep up the vids, useful to have (swr tested) antenna recommendations
@andykirby 3 місяці тому
Ahah it was you! I remember! You are still in my list so send us another message if you are ever in range again.

Thanks for the great videos Andy, I've been loving the content (especially the Meshtastic related stuff). I hadn't heard of Meshtastic until one of your videos popped up in my suggested list a few weeks back. I ordered a Heltec from AliExpress which arrived a couple of days ago. Had the node running for a day and hadn't picked anything up. I was starting to wonder if there was nothing nearby, but suddenly for a brief moment the stars aligned and I picked up a couple of nodes. Unfortunately I could never make contact with them again. This video came along at just the right time. My heltec came with one of the antennas you mentioned as potentially not being too good so I suspect this may be the issue. I've got a better antenna arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to give it a try (I'm like a kid on Christmas eve). Thanks again. Keep up the great work.
@AndrewJonesMcGuire 3 місяці тому
Replying here, in the hope that you post an update. I ordered an 868MHz antenna with a magnetic base, it looks similar to the 433MHz one I got when I got the SDR (Nooelec) dongle a few years ago for picking up the Byron doorbell on RTL433.
@JohnathanSchaffer 3 місяці тому
@@AndrewJonesMcGuire bit of a mixed bag really. Initially things were looking good, I picked up regular beacons from the other two nodes. One of them is reporting positional info and they look to be around half a mile away, so pretty close by. After a couple of hours I've lost contact with them again. Based on the RSSI and SNR I think the nodes are potentially at the same location as they are almost identical. So not really sure now if the problem is on my side or their side. They may have even powered off their nodes (who knows!). I'll leave mine up and see what happens. It's kind of hard to test things further without another device to range test with. So I may have to pick up another device to troubleshoot with at some point. I even tried relocating my node to the loft temporarily but it didn't help.
@allancopland1768 24 дні тому
Great presentation Andy. I'm in Central Scotland and just gettting into Meshtastic. The aerials supplied with the Heltec V3 LoRa32 kits are nothing great. Buy something better and get it up as high as possible is my advice. Use a USB extender cable if need be to feed power up to your node. On 868, height is might! The mesh is slowly expanding here. I chose 868 over 433 even though I'm a licensed ham because 433 hs a lot of other stuff going on. Seems my decision to go for 868 was a good one. Keep up the good work.

That solar node you did, just a tip, in future instead of using a Heltec and a solar panel and charger with a 18650 battery holder, just buy a TTGO T-Beam board and a 5V solar panel. TTGO T-Beam has 18650 battery holder, GPS, LoRa, ESP32 and the battery charge circuitry for a 5V supply all on board. Very elegant solution.
@chillraz3300 2 місяці тому

LoRa tech is the 2024 rabbit hole for sure. Have you seen the M5 cardputer? It has a lora module you can connect to it. Haven't tested it, but it looks like it could be a nice competitor to the T-Deck if it works well over long distances. Would love to see a review.

I’ve got two heltecs, each with longer antenna like shown in this vid. I only managed about a km on LONG FAST mode but one antenna was in bedroom so good be placed better. I had to do a bit more using latest Python to flash the firmware via command line (powershell) as the online firmware flasher wasnt working. Happy to help if anyone needs help with this. next steps to are to take one node out every time I go somewhere to look for other nodes as well as more range tests from house. Currently based in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth - almost most easterly point of UK, just north of lowestoft.
@andykirby 3 місяці тому
Cool! I know Gorleston, visited a few times many moons ago. Yeah get the antenna up as high as you can and it'll make a world of difference. Don't use much coax though. Defo good to take a node out and about with you, it can be really surprising what you pick up! Also you may get some signals over the sea from the Netherlands when conditions are right!

Does anyone know if you get a bit more output power from the Heltec V3 868MHz by using a 5V voltage supply directly rather than 3.xx that comes out of a battery? On the one hand, one would think that increasing the supply voltage would increase general swing levels, including the o/p swing. However, the TX level seems to be calibrated and limited to 27dBm which suggests that it is much more intelligently controlled and limited. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this?

@highviz1 3 місяці тому
Hi Andy. My Heltec systems from AliExpress came with the ufl to sma adaptor lead plus the small stub antenna that you briefly showed as being tuned for about 920Mhz on your analyser. Any chance you could verify what the SWR reading is at 868Mhz? - And maybe give comparison readings for the other antennas you show? - I suspect that we can get better results by simply making our own dipoles from the UFL pigtails provided ! Thanks
@andykirby 3 місяці тому
Hi, the range on the meter was pretty wide so you can see the SWR line increasing drastically towards the left of the screen. Basically it's not good. You are right, making a dipole would be good or you can buy RC drone antennas designed for 868mhz crossfire. They work well too.

all of the units I have ordered from china here in the usa (915) have had HORRIFIC unusable SWR. like 4:1 or worse. the fact that you blokes are getting 915 antennas is maddening lol.

I bought a Heltec V3 on 433Mhz by accident.. set it up as 868 and it works very well indeed on 868! 869.525
@andykirby 3 місяці тому
Yeah they work OK but still not as good as a dedicated 868 model, the matching network is different between the two. We did some experiments with it. Good to put it to use though. 👍🏻

Quick not with those bendable antennas. They seem to work best in the 90' orientation in my testing.
