Range test made with 2xttgo-Lora32-V1 weird result

Eventually I realized the reason of the result stated above. The catch is that the mobile node indicates on the oled screen bearing and distance based on the last NODEINFO_APP and POSITION_APP messages received so even though no such messages were received beyond 133mt distance, yet the mobile node continued to show the distance and bearing change till the end of my test. I verified this this morning where the home node was switched off. The mobile node showed the bearing, 5mt distamce and signal 95%. To avoid to be misled in these data the node shoud show bearing, distance and signal only if the last NODEINFO_APP message received is not older than 2*interval sending NODEINFO (in my case 10 minutes since I set that interval to 300 secs. being the default 15min)

Opened the node should show bearing, distance, signal only if the last NODEINFO_APP msg received is not older than 2*interval · Issue #717 · meshtastic/Meshtastic-device · GitHub
