Hi @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @_elena@mastodon.social,
I ponder getting me 2 #heltec v3[1] 870MHz for me here in #Traunstein (between Rosenheim-Salzburg), to experiment with #Meshcore and #Mestastic with #Linux Mint and #FreeBSD. (And for the youth-hacker-meetup I host)
Can you recommend a supplier and a setup? (Not Amazon)

@mro@digitalcourage.social I personally prefer devices with the nRF52840 chip like the Heltec T114 as they consume far less power and are therefore much better for nodes and repeaters with solar and/or battery. I have no preferred distributor, I typically check eBay or AliExpress or sometimes buy directly from Heltec. @_elena@mastodon.social
