Southern Tier NY Meshtastic Group
CQ CQ
I haven't been able to make many if any contacts via LoRA yet which is one reason I included a link in my node naming and set this site up. Hoping to connect folks together to maybe jumpstart a bit of a community in the Southern Tier.
While I am still figuring most of this stuff out I have picked up some knowledge (and a lot of various hardware bits and pieces.) In addition to this basic site I setup a Discord server that folks are free to join and maybe further the discussion of Meshtastic.
If email is more your style: info@stmesh.net
My Meshtastic Nodes
If by chance you do see one of my nodes pop up in your node list this what they are and how I am using them. I am awful at picking names so nothing clever or creative here.
I have accumulated a bunch of stuff and have a pile of stuff that I either ordered in error ie SMA Female when I need male or RP-SMA when I needed SMA etc etc... I have had good luck with ordering stuff from Rokland and would not hesitate pointing folks to them for their needs.

STMesh MQTT (stmesh.net)
This is a node I use for remote management and uplink to MQTT as its the only node I have with network capability. Currently just have this one on my desk in a 3d printed case.
STMesh Rooftop Relay (stmesh.net)
Outdoor solar node mounted on roof with a mid-gain 5db antenna
STMesh Vehicle Relay (stmesh.net)
This is a node I am installing in the car with an external antenna. Still very much a build in progress and a node I will hopefully just rely on for relaying signal to the node I am most likely to be caryying (STM3).The build is in place in very much a testing state. The thought process here was a battery powered node so that it could be left on when I am away from the vehicle acting as a relay point. I have it connected to the vehicle via a 5v USB-C buck converter which will let me switch power on to the unit via the vehicle AUX switches for charging / power.
STMesh T-Echo (stmesh.net)
This is the most portable node of the bunch and the only on with GPS capability, most likely to have this one one me and paired to the phone.
