Most Bluetooth links give up around 100 m. Ours held a two-way link at 4.6 km, measured ground to ground on a highway, line of sight.
The recipe: BLE Coded PHY (S=8), a 20 dBm PA and a 12 dB LNA on an STM32WB07.
What would you build with a 4.6 km Bluetooth link? #RFOXiA
Heltec V3 in a Meshnology case = one of the best EDC gadgets I’ve carried.
Pocket-sized Meshtastic node that keeps working when cell service doesn’t. Screen shows your mesh at a glance.

Meshtastic 2.8.1 alpha adds signed packets and turns location sharing off by default.
I’m staying on the current stable firmware for now. The alpha looks useful for privacy and bigger meshes, but it’s still early.

Starting another little meshtastic project this week. Doing some preliminary research now to make sure something like it doesn't already exist. – at Doctor Phillips, FL
Had an amazing level of service from Ash at Cowfish tonight. Thanks for taking the time to take care of my family. #UOTMFistBump – at Tangelo Park, FL
Spent some time this morning updating the firmware on my Meshtastic devices. The web flasher makes it a seamless process. Kudos to @TheMeshtastic for having this option. #Meshtastic #firmware #upgrade #flasher – at Southchase, FL
Going to spend some time updating firmware tomorrow on my nodes. #Meshtastic #Firmware – at Doctor Phillips, FL
Am listening to Book 4 of The Completionist Chronicles. I have questions. Why the change in character accents and personalities? I get a new narrator, but dang. – at Doctor Phillips, FL
Still learning, and it's just what I needed. Added a dust shoe, and now I need to trim it down for some of the shorter bits. Although I am sure they probably sell shorter skirts too... – at Doctor Phillips, FL
Test cut. Going to add resin soon. Just need to figure that part out first. #babysteps – at Winter Park, FL
