Rnode settings #646

Anything that is legal for where you are. Generally, people are referring to the Meshtastic docs as they have a great list of presets you could use as reference, as well as a slot calculator for picking frequencies. https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/ I would suggest using something that will give you the fastest data rate while at the same time being able to cover the distance you want. At the moment, it's unlikely you will find someone in your area using RNode, but if you do, you could switch to settings they are using to be able to communicate. I would also suggest avoiding the default frequencies used by Meshtastic in your area, to avoid interference. Having an SDR is also useful for being able to see what is happening on the spectrum, and if you're lucky you might find some frequencies that no one is using :)
I would advise against using random settings for frequencies you found on YouTube, as these may not be allowed in your country.
For RNodes to be able to communicate with each other, they must have the same LoRa settings. This means the If the settings are not the same, the LoRa chip on the receiving side will not decode it, because it's listening for something else. |

But wouldn't that mean everyone could be on slightly different settings and thinking there's no one in their area when there might be loads but everyone is shooting in different directions? Still trying to get my head round Reticulum when coming from Meshtastic. Thanks! |

What settings are we supposed to put in for Hardware > Rnode (frequency, bandwidth, TX, etc.)?
I've used some settings I saw in a YouTube video, but I've no idea if they're right.
Bonus question: if two nodes were using different values, would they still be able to announce/discover each other??
