Mesh/MIMO radios are the future, but mashtastic isn't viable for austere environments. We really need something to bridge the gap from MPU5.

Glad to know I can save $14,950 using a meshtastic setup to bounce comms and run ATAK. Spend another $20 for a baofeng and boom I have voice. Speak in code and it substitutes for encryption. Setup a repeater if you really need that long distance voice communication.

Though interesting ... if a product is only available to LEO/Military, or no plan to release a version of it to the public, then I don't see the utility in producing content about such a product.

@T.REXLabs9 ай бұрын
The civilian market, both consumers and manufacturers alike, need to have more knowledge of these MIL products, so there can be more demand and more R&D for competing products that will be available to citizens. Smarter radios and better waveforms and MANETs exist in the public sector, and we can create demand for them in the private sector.

Never understood why people want a radio. I know it's tacticool and looks good on the vest or rig but honestly. Things to consider, if SHTF that radio repeater tower is going to be commandeered by the govt or by anyone in control. 2nd, any frequency you broadcast on can and will be triangulated and will be used to find you. It's how we pounded the sand into the Taliban in the mountains in AFG. They got real smart and went to using nokia phones. Also if it is a dark sky event ( all coms are out) that 1200 dollar radio is a boat anchor at that point.
