Yup! Under the External Notification config menu there’s a section to program the piezo buzzer tone/delay sequence. I changed mine to be more of a chirp than a full ringtone.

I do like the ringtone. But I think what’s even cooler is the ability to set your own ringtone through the config.

If you open the case it’s a one-time deal and it won’t ever be water resistant again. But even without water resistance is still an amazingly compact and well-engineered device.

I’m not sure what their comparison is, but the 1/8-wave antenna in the 1000E is plenty strong enough. My current ground-to-air distance record of 90+ miles is with someone in a plane who had a 1000E. It’s loads better than my Heltec V3, and out-performs everything i have except for the base stations with specialized antennas.

You won’t regret it. The T-1000E is my EDC and it’s great.

I hit a snag when we had to replace the vehicle unexpectedly. The new one has no good mounting options besides magnetic attachment so I’m still looking.

Dang, that’s a nice throwback.

Ah, a fellow engineer!

Perfect use of scientific vocabulary.

I think they’re referring to this species. Although the cloning aspect adds yet another layer of wtf on top.

Add to that the capability of Meshtastic to do basic encryption and a device entry fee of <$15. Limited scope doesnt matter as much if it’s widespread enough.

I read through that entire thing, saw Charles, and just skipped right over it. That’s perfect though.

You could also get one of the SSD drives that look like flash storage. I got a “usb stick” with 512GB SSD for about $60 last year.

The one with a bunch of golden lab dogs dressed in lab coats? It’s still hanging on my fridge.

I’m trying to get back into HAM after 30 years out of it. Starting with meshtastic let’s me play around without spending a lot on hardware, and before I get my license back.

There are great prebuilt nodes for under $50, and as low as $20 if you build your own from parts.

Only based on what the listed specs are (11-12 mm). They don’t ship until April 25th.

I ordered a 5,000 mAh to try out. It saves me from building something similar myself. Prototyping wireless charging is hard enough as it is without taking radio interference into account.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Why have a PoGo port if you don’t plan on waterproofing. I already have silicone plugs for USB-C ports.

Just played through the tutorial. Looks and plays great.
