I mean they're not crazy good by any means, but they could be improved upon. More so speaking of mesh, ham is its own mystery in my brain.
Just examples really of networking outside of the normal infrastructure.
Okay yeah that was the impression I had too. I was excited when I first heard about it but from what I read it didn't seem like you could do much with it. I'm still interested in playing around with it though if I find some free time. Ham didn't really interest me as it requires a license which kind of defeats the purpose of this imo.
Agreed on that front as well.
There has been some progress with data on meshtastic as well as range. For what it is in its current state, it's still pretty awesome imo
