A gentle FYI for casuals interested in Meshtastic / MeshCore in the the USA: the default radio settings promoted by both these services are actually outside the parameters permitted by the FCC for unlicensed spread-spectrum operation, which require that such signals be spread over at least 500 kHz of spectrum [1]. Meshtastic "LongFast" spreads over only 250 kHz, and MeshCore "USA Recommended" over only 125 kHz.

(500 kHz bandwidth is indeed a valid setting for the underlying LoRa protocol, and is used when the radios get certified.)

Unfortunately the community meshes in most/all US metros have coalesced around these settings, meaning one is forced to choose between linking with "the" mesh, or operating legally.

Correction (too late to edit), MeshCore is 62.5 kHz bandwidth, not 125 kHz.

You keep posting this nonsense all over, yet Meshtastic bends over backwards to operate legally.

Either prove it by getting both mesh projects in trouble with the government or shut it. Your constant whining is annoying.
