Following last month's disappointing results with the range of our mesh nodes during the Cuddeback Dry Lake Exercise (see the After Action Report in the General Section of the Forum) some of the members of the Land Ops offroad club are going to run some tests on Saturday, February 7 to determine the best configuration and the practical range of the mesh nodes with various antenna configurations over typical desert terrain. Members of this forum are welcome to join us and bring your mesh node equipment or just bring your expertise or curiosity and see what kind of distance we can get with our equipment. Our nodes are flashed with v3.0.0 of the firmware.
We will be meeting at Christmas Circle in Borrego Springs at 10:00 am PST on Saturday, February 7. Look for vehicles with Land Ops decals and people with Land Ops T-Shirts. We will be on 145.525 simplex. We have identified five locations that are on or adjacent to paved roads and six locations that are on easy dirt roads that we would like to use for node testing. Even if you don't have an offroad vehicle you could still participate or observe the testing at those sites that are on paved roads.
Some of us will meet for breakfast at 9:00 am at Kendall's Cafe, 587 Palm Canyon Drive, Suite 120, Borrego Springs. It's about a block west of Christmas Circle. http://kendallscafe.net
