@oscillator hey, that sounds interesting. Which radio device did you actually get? I am currently looking for alternatives of this kind for a group where I am taking part and we would like to keep communications going in case of disaster.
#Meshcore:

(Super simple to get started. Tries to solve flaws from #meshtastic.)
#Reticulum:
https://reticulum.network/hardware.html
(Super versatile and what I suspect to be the best tech stack. But rather complex and steep learning curve.)
In the end there should be an overlap of the most common devices.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
