Meshtastic Channel EF28
« on: 02.08.2024, 19:55:35 »

Hi everyone,
I recently got a bit into meshtastic and as such I generated Channel Settings to share. (I'll have my T-Deck and/or T-Beam with me)

These are the Settings:

Mode: LongFast
Name: EF28
KeySize: 128 Bit
PSK: APmG/G4ySuoujNNoJ2DTiA==
Uplink: Disabled
Downlink: Disabled
Position: High Presision

For iPhone Users you can just scan the QR-Code in the Attachment and it will add the channel, on Android this didn't work for me, however just set up a new channel and use the listed Settings and you are in it as well.

One caveat, though: MeshTastic uses the 860 MHz ISM band in Europe, and thus shares it with wireless microphones and the remote audio trigger system used by the pawpet show. Let me clarify with our stage techs whether it can cause interference with our systems.

There are already about two dozen meshtastic nodes in Hamburg (which all have thanks to LoRa quite the range to cover the city) which are run by private people outside of Eurofurence control.
Also LoRa is a defined standard, I'd assume that it wouldn't intefere, and if then something went quite wrong.
And if they somehow should interfere than we have about two dozen problems in the city EF can't control.

The nodes outside of the concrete and steel bunker won't do anything... (Surprisingly, CCH Saal 3 is the first location ever where we had no weird RF interference issues so far, despite the the railway line directly passing by and the subway passing under.)

But all clear, the microphones will be on a different band and the RATS are on a frequency just below the 860 MHz LoRa band.
