@ralphw @eriner I've got a few. The out of the box version allows you to send text messages about a mile, but you can also set them up as repeaters.They used to work with ATAK, but due to a pissing contest, it doesnt right now.

@SirRichard @ralphw T-Beams are really only good for development due to the easy physical access to the board.T-Echos and T-Decks are better interface devices for non-interactive and interactive devices, respectively.T-beams (at least the ones I have that I bought ~3 years ago) have older hardware and antennas that are tuned for 433mhz.

@eriner @ralphw there may be a way to lock them down, but i haven't found a convincing way to do it.

@SirRichard @ralphw oh I didn't mean for security: it's over if someone gets ANY of the devices.And re: antenna, the device can/does transmit on 900mhz, but the antenna is tuned for 433mhz and not 900mhz.
