Thanks for the video! I'm trying to start a cluster on my city... I'm alone for now (actually building my node) but trying to learn as much as I can!

I apologize if this is a really dumb question, but how does ARDEN know the SNR? DE WA1KLI

John, the wireless driver in the kernel keeps track of those metrics for every connected station. Same way the Charts feature knows how to plot a graph of the signal levels for all the connected nodes. Hope that helps.

@@AB7PA Thank you. Following up, is the wireless driver in the kernel unique to ARDEN or a part of a generic UNIX system?

[@AB7PA]

@@JohnTarbox AREDN is built on top of OpenWRT and much of that code is inherited from the OpenWRT project.
