Heshtastic is fun, but It has the issue (in my area at least) where a good half of the messages dont get through, even though there is at least 40 devices in our area. Its a problem. The bounce limit means we have issues communicating and it comes in waves/sporadically.
We have had more luck with meshcore getting the actual messages out, but it has the opposite problem. No one uses meshcore so it doesn’t matter how much better is it at communication.
Both are awesome projects dont get me wrong. I love playing around with both as a side hobby. Hopefully its better where you are at.
Ironically the best was a walky talky for emergencies.
