    Is there a way to use this (or similar) model in Visual Studio? Extensions on Visual Studio Marketplace are clunky and sluggish at best, if they even work at all.

    If one node kept transmitting non-stop, it could push data out at 3.5kbps and no one else in that range can transmit at the same time. However, in EU there is a legal limit of 1% d…

    Hard limit is 3.5kbps with 148dB link budget (Medium Fast preset in Meshtastic [1]). In practice - a packet worth of hundred bytes every half a second or so. [1] https://meshtastic…

    The separate noise source is a bit of surprise here. Why is it necessary? Wouldn't RF noise produce same results?
