Despite what mqtt might say about my nodes gps location (when they respect my static settings), they are both sitting within a foot of each other. Thats when I tested the --dest feature so I cant comment on range despite what my nodes look like on a map. I havent ventured out in the wild with these yet because I dont trust them and my cases are junk. Not knocking the project at all, I could invest in some nice cases and load the stable firmware.
Looks like some of you are using ----option ? Whats up with that? Ive only used --info and --reboot and always after --port because meshtastic on the mac isnt smart enough to detect the port.
Note that on my mac I have to escape the !
