    helltec v3 kits are about 20$ very few hobbies are this cheap to get in.

    Although I have gotten out of control I am keeping things cheap so far.

    Using some boom extensions that were about 30$ each and a couple of long range antennas for another 50$each and a few boards I am trying to test a connection between me and a friend.

    If it works well I will make a proposition in my DSA to connect the whole city as I am getting near the point where I can’t really afford to expand the grid by myself and continue with other action groups and mutual aid obligations I have.

    About connecting the whole nation, I am not sure if Meshtastic has a technical size limit, but without a doubt, if the grid gets popular enough that said limit is an issue, it will be updated or fixed.
