<v Speaker 1>each week. Thank you for the support, and thank you

8
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>for being a member of the community. The video you're

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>about to watch was recorded last month and it's about

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>this sense a cap T one thousand, this guy right here,

11
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>which is a meshtastic note. Long story short. I really

12
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>like this thing, but after using it for about a month,

13
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe six weeks or something like that, the only problem

14
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>with it is the charging. Sometimes you can't get the

15
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>thing to charge. Okay, this is I mean, this is

16
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>a great piece of kit. It really is. When I'm

17
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>at hamfests and whatnot, I keep this attached to my

18
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>belt loop or my belt or maybe my backpack or

19
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>something like that. And this thing has excellent range. You

20
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>might be surprised by the type of range it has.

21
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>The way to charge it is with this waterproof portback here.

22
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 1>The way the charge is with this magnetic connection right here,

23
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>and this cable that's a proprietary cable, so it's proprietary,

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 1>so I already don't like it that much anyway. But

25
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when you connect that, it just simply will not charge.

26
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>If you look right now, you might be able to

27
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>see this flashing very faintly in the video. When you

28
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>connect this and it actually takes a charge, this light

29
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 1>will become bright and flash slower, and you'll hear a

30
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>tone come across the thing as well. But oftentimes you

31
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 1>can't get the thing to charge because for whatever reason,

32
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>it just doesn't. It just doesn't act like it's connected.

33
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 1>That's the only thing. Now I have found a way

34
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>a way around that that I have found so far.

35
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I have a a high powered USB charging brick on

36
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>my dresser in my bedroom at home. It plugs directly

37
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>into the wall and it has five USB three point

38
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 1>zero high powered charging port. It's not as high, not

39
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>as high powered as USBC obviously, but high as high

40
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>as you can get on USBA. And when I plug

41
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 1>this into that, it seems to charge. Okay, I haven't

42
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>had any trouble with it charging there, but I took

43
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>this to orlandohem Cation in February and I was charging

44
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>it trying to charge it via charging brick or battery box,

45
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes I got it work to work, and sometimes

46
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. And when I asked somebody from this is

47
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>made by Seed Studios. I'll put a link to it

48
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>in the description below. You can get them on Amazon

49
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 1>as well. And when I asked Seed Studios about why

50
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>they made this proprietary connector, they said they wanted it

51
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to be waterproof. Okay, okay, I can get that, but

52
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 1>with this something like this, you're going to be carrying

53
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>this in your pocket. So unless you're planning on going

54
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>swimming with this device, I don't really see the need

55
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>for it to be waterproof. If this was an external

56
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>device you're gonna put on the outside of your house,

57
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 1>your car, they're sure, okay, good, But with this thing

58
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and the battery will last for about two days, but

59
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it's really frustrating the field when you're using it, having

60
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>good luck with it, go to charging it at night,

61
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>you plug it in, it won't take a charge. The

62
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>battery eventually dies on you because you can't get it

63
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to charge after connecting it to two charge two or

64
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 1>three different chargers using two or three different cables. So

65
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that's my only complaint about it. Watch this video, this

66
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 1>video that I recorded last month, and overall, if you

67
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>can get this thing to charge, this is a fantastic unit.

68
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And I traded some emails with Seed Studios and I

69
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>told them this is my problem with it, and they're like, well,

70
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>let us know of what you think, like, use it

71
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>in the field, let us know what you think about it.

72
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>And I said, the charging is the only problem. And

73
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>I said I'm gonna put that in the video. And

74
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 1>they're like, okay, cool, yeah, fine, we'll we'll take that

75
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>to heart when we get more information on it. So,

76
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and this has been reported to them already. I'm not

77
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>the first one to tell them this. So you guys,

78
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>check this videout. Let me know what you think of

79
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 1>the comments below. This is the smallest, most compact mesh

80
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Tastic device that I have ever seen on the market.

81
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>It is made by Seed Corporation Seed. It's just a

82
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>perfect compact solution for Meshtastic to keep on your person

83
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 1>when you're out and about, maybe at a show, maybe

84
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>at a festival, maybe at a group gathering of some sort.

85
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna look at it right now. I picked this

86
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 1>up at mesh Con at the Spec five mesh Con

87
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>event that happened uh October of twenty twenty four, and

88
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I've tinkered with it a little bit. It's not a

89
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 1>great device for long range because it's because that's that's

90
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>how big it is right there. It's it's literally the

91
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>size of a credit card. It's a little bit thicker

92
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>this direction than a credit card, but it's literally the

93
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 1>size of a credit card. That's it. Right there. There's another.

94
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I've actually got two of them, and it's got an

95
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 1>internal battery. The internal battery will last about two days.

96
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>And on this one I put a little I actually

97
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>made this carabineer paracord rope thing. I don't know what

98
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>you call these, but I bought one of these on

99
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Amazon one time and I looked at how it was wound,

100
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, dude, I could I could totally do that.

101
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>I could make that myself. So I made that and

102
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 1>I put that on there with a little key ring

103
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>on it. But let me show you what it looks

104
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>like and what the size compares to and get the

105
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>mestastic app out. We're gonna hook it all up and

106
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>see what you're doing. Again. This is probably something that

107
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna go to Hamvenchion or Orlando. Orlando's coming

108
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>up soon. If you're gonna go to a place like that,

109
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 1>or even like some sort of outdoor gathering with lots

110
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of people, maybe a camp out or whatever, and you

111
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>want to keep a meshtastic device SLA like actually on

112
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 1>your belt or something, this is gonna be great for that.

113
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not gonna it doesn't have an external intenta port.

114
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Switch over to the overhead here and show you there's

115
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>no external intenta port. There's no there's nothing on it

116
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>except for it's got a button right here to turn

117
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it on. It's got a small speaker right there. And

118
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>then the charging port is this magnetic connection on the

119
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.959
<v Speaker 1>back here. It comes with this proprietary cable, so it's

120
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>not USBC or anything like that. It is a proprietary

121
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>magnetic cable. This right here. There's magnets right there on

122
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>either side, so you like that and then plug it

123
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>into USBA and that's how you charge it. It doesn't take

124
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 1>long to charge at all. This battery right here in

125
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the back you can see, is the battery that's internal

126
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 1>to it. This white part right here. I told you guys,

127
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>I turned fifty last year. Right, So this right here

128
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>says it's this is a model T one thousand Echo.

129
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>They call it a Sense of Cap T one thousand

130
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 1>from Seed Studios made in China, s E eed S

131
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Triple Ed Seed Studio. I'll show you the website here

132
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>in a second. Sells for about forty bucks. And I

133
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>can't really see because there's printing on the case over

134
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>the top of it here. I can't really see what

135
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the size of the battery is. It does say it

136
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>looks like it says three point seven volt right there,

137
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>but I can't see the milliamp our size of the battery.

138
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps it says on the website here, which we can

139
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>take a look at that real quick. This is the

140
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>website for it. Like I said thirty nine nine, I

141
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 1>couldn't find anyone in the USA that sold these. I

142
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>checked my normal meshtastic providers and they didn't carry this

143
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>specific model. But right now it says good news by

144
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>two of the T one thousand Echo units and get

145
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>two snap hooks for freeze, a special they're running right now. Okay,

146
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>gives you a little diagram shows that there there's a

147
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>guy right there with it hooked to the zipper on

148
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>his hoodie. That's a good idea there. I did see

149
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>somebody at the last belt in ham Expo we were at.

150
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 1>There was a guy there that had this clip to

151
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:31.399
<v Speaker 1>his belt and he was just walking around with it.

152
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like, it's really easy to use, and it's non intrusive.

153
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't take up a lot of room. You don't

154
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about an antenna poking. I've had meshtastic

155
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>devices on my belt and there's an intenna on it,

156
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know, sometimes you lean over, or you try

157
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.079
<v Speaker 1>to pick up something, or you just turning around, or

158
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you get into the car and you forget it's there,

159
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and either the entire unit kind of pops off your

160
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>belt or the antenna gets bent and snapped. I have

161
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>a really bad habit of bending antennas. So you don't

162
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about this. Uh. With that, there's nothing

163
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>there at all. That's all there is to it. The

164
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>antenna is internal. So let's check this out and see

165
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>what it looks like with the meshtastic app. So if

166
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you can see this or not right now, I don't

167
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>know if you can see this in the camera. This

168
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one is flashing right now, which means it's powered on

169
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 1>and this one is not. So we're gonna go with

170
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>this one right here, because that's the one. I've got

171
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 1>my care beaner clip on, all right. So to power

172
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 1>it on you, to power it off in on you,

173
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you long press this button right here, all right. So

174
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you heard that it did a little beep tone

175
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 1>and then now it's powered off because there's no flashing

176
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 1>on the LED indicator right there, So we're gonna power

177
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>it on there. It is took about three seconds, maybe four.

178
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You saw the LED pop on there, and now it's

179
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>flashing white. It turns green for half a second when

180
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 1>it powers on, and now it's flashing white. So now

181
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 1>we're going to come in here to the Mestastic app

182
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>right here, and I'm going to go here and I'm

183
00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 1>going to add a device Mestastic fe F six. I

184
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that GOV thing is. I'm going to

185
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to assume that this is an FVF six.

186
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't really say I'll tell you what. Here's how we

187
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>test it. Let's turn it off. It might say in

188
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the box, but I don't have the box for this

189
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>specific unit anymore. Yeah, okay, went away, But I wonder

190
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 1>what that is. I don't even know what that is.

191
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>So the only thing that comes in the box is

192
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the card itself in the charging cable. There's nothing else

193
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.799
<v Speaker 1>in the box. This is the box, right This is

194
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the box to the second one right here. This this,

195
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 1>this box goes to this one. I don't have the

196
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 1>box for this one anymore. But there's nothing like right here. Yeah,

197
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>there's no indication of what it's actually called. There's an

198
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>FCCID input is five volts at zero dot three six amps.

199
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Nothing really else about what the mesh tastic is named.

200
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to assume that this FVF six is

201
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the one here, and the pairing pin code is one

202
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 1>two three four five six. I know that because I

203
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>watched the seed video instructions on this device. And here

204
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 1>we go right there. Now we're connected. Okay, it's gonna

205
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 1>want you to set your region first. United States is

206
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>where I'm sitting, okay, And then I can and now

207
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>we've got the arrow right there which says we're connected.

208
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>All good there, and then I can go here and

209
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>see I just beeped at me. I'm not sure why

210
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>this one right here, this random O one WT forty

211
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 1>seven is something I picked up the other day. It's

212
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>not something that's there now hops away as question mark.

213
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.879
<v Speaker 1>But this right here, this FEF six is this little

214
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>guy right here. So you just basically carry this thing

215
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>around on your belt. I can rename it if I

216
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.799
<v Speaker 1>want to. Probably do that here in a minute. Carry

217
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 1>this thing around on your belt, like I said, when

218
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 1>you're at an event or a festival or something like that,

219
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 1>and then if there's anyone else that has a meshtastic

220
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>device set up on the premises there with like on

221
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:59.399
<v Speaker 1>a pole or a tower or something, then it'll be

222
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>easy to do this, or it'll be easy to connect

223
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>because you always have your smartphone with you anyway, so

224
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 1>you can get your smartphone out and say, oh, there's

225
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 1>somebody on mestastic right there. So I'm gonna test this

226
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 1>at winter field Day, which is upcoming soon. We're gonna

227
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>set up some Mestastic nodes at winter field Day at

228
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the end of January twenty twenty five, and I'm gonna

229
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>carry this around on me and see what kind of

230
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>activity we can see during that event. Should be about

231
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>eight or ten of us there, maybe some guests come

232
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>along during the day and you know, it's gonna be

233
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>a fun event either way. But this is definitely a

234
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>very cool device, like I said, because more than and

235
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>quite frankly, the thing that I liked about it the

236
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 1>best is that it doesn't have an external antenna. Okay,

237
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 1>if you need something with an external antenna or with

238
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 1>a better range on it, then there's certainly devices like

239
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that available out there. Okay, but if you want something

240
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that's just easy, you can literally put this in your

241
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>wallet or your pocket. You're not gonna mess it up.

242
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna damage it. You might end up if

243
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>you sit on it or something. You put it in

244
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>your back pocket and you sit on it, you might

245
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>end up pressing that button powering it down, but it's

246
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 1>not going to be I wouldn't suggest sitting on it really,

247
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that case is pretty tough, but you never know. I mean,

248
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, you could. You could use some of you

249
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Ham Radio guys that ordered triple and quadruple xl T

250
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 1>shirts on my website. You guys, yeah, be careful with that.

251
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 1>So but hey, I've broken stuff by sitting on it

252
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>in my pocket many many times. But this is a

253
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.519
<v Speaker 1>neat device. I'm looking forward to using it actually in

254
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the Field. Thank you to Seed Studios for sending this

255
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to me, and I'll put a link to the website

256
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to the to the device on their website in the

257
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>description below. You guys can go check that out. If

258

<v Speaker 1>you have any questions or comments, let me know. Let

259

<v Speaker 1>me know what the other I've got two or three

260
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 1>other meshtastic devices that I want to do videos on,

261
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:45.879
<v Speaker 1>or that I that I have in my possession to

262
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>do videos on. Let me know what mesh tastic devices

263
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys want to see, what kind of setup you

264
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>want to see on this channel and we'll talk soon.

265
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Seventy three
