Just set my new T-Deck Plus on my local network. Looks a bit like an old Blackberry eh? Working well on existing home . Will be testing it on the hiking trails next week.

@EA7KRC thanks for your advice Martin. Appreciated. I'm not even sure why I am being drawn to amateur radio, not with a mountain perspective in mind anyway. I suspect because I'm getting more interest...

Discovering Long Range Radio Communications (LORA)
My experiences with LORA radio communications using the Reticulum Network Stack to build networks
