Tips for what is the best 1 watt device to use as a Reticulum RNode on the market at the moment. I haven't really gelled with the Heltec LoRa32 V4 kit very well so looking for alternatives. #LoRa #Reticulum #Technology

Can anyone help? Trying to find the web flasher online to flash my Heltec LoRa32 v4 Touch and turn it into a transport node and I can't seem to find the page any more. Could somebody drop the link please. #reticulum #LoRa #MeshRadio

@nprofile…v6fw Thanks for letting me know. It's very confusing. Lots of people using 867.5MHz. I've had 5 nodes locally using that. But then I see people using 868.0Mhz and even the Meshcore frequency. Reticulum LoRa seems to be a wild west of nodes on various frequencies.

Just a quick one. What is the frequency for #Reticulum LoRa in Europe? I'm in the UK and have been using (as many others have) 867.5MHz but I've just seen some people chatting saying that isn't it? Some confirmation would be appreciated.

A quick question for the #reticulum heads out there. When announcing myself on the network should I use an ID or announce myself as an anonymous peer? Just wondering if I’m doing it right using a public facing ID.

Shout out to the #fujifilm users on here. I was thinking about buying an X-M5 but now reconsidering. I am doing indoor gymnastics photography (which is done in a often poorly lit gym) and street/landscape photography. What is a good Fujifilm camera that could be good at covering both? Recommendations for bodies and lenses appreciated. #photography #camera #photographer

@nprofile…v6fw This seems a bit blind. I can understand there are issues over github's ownership but doing this at such an early stage without larger adoption seems like a facepalm moment.

Does anybody know if there is a list of useful tools on one page for #Reticulum at all? Seeing loads of cool projects on here but it would be great if they were compiled in one place. Or maybe they already are but I'm looking in the wrong place lol.

@nprofile…v6fw Downloaded it. Haven't got the foggiest about Nomad Net yet but I'll give it a try soon.

Tried sorting my transport nodes out. Still having problems. In the mean time I flashed Ratspeak software to Cardputer ADV and it works flawlessly. I have Pyxis on the T-Deck. I tried reflashing Ratdeck to the T-Deck but still having problems. The only thing I can think of is if the preamble is set properly. Just doesn’t seem to be recievable. #ratspeak #pyxis #reticulum #rns #lora

Are you paying attention #Apple? https://andregarzia.com/2026/03/apple-just-lost-me.html

2026-03-23 22:13:39 UTC

Okay. I bought two Heltec LoRa32 V4’s to be used as transport nodes. I just want these to work as transport nodes and nothing else. Tried the web flasher and I think I put the wrong firmware on. Usually don’t have a problem flashing Rnodes but this is different. Can anyone suggest the best way of getting these things working as transport nodes? #reticulum #lora #meshradio

Really sad news to hear Dave Ball from Soft Cell/The Grid has passed away. Another piece of my childhood gone. Here's an interesting little cover he did here with Mal from Cabaret Voltaire, Ruth Joy from Krush and Northern Bleeps legend Robert Gordon from 1988. #RIPDaveBall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUbLuL3oGAs&list=RDZUbLuL3oGAs&start_radio=1

#Liquidglass sucks donkey balls. Not a big fan of the new Apple UI. All we need is an option to switch it off. Can't imagine this is something that is still going to be here in Apple's UI ecosystem next year. I have trouble with my eyesight and for somebody with visual issues it's quite annoying not to be able to switch it off.
