2026 Feb 27 – Update: Cell Interference & More Power

West Fork 1: Well, that didn’t work.

It appears that the cell tower is interfering with the West Fork 1 node. I have made multiple attempts for trace routes within line of site of the node, no response.

I have ordered a RF filter and 2 of the RAK 1 Watt boards that has more power and RF filtering. Thank you to one of our member (MW) for contributing.

Tontitown 1: Coax Loss

Lastly, the Tontitown test node is up. It is on a run of coax so there is likely reduced performance, but we have been able to bounce off it a couple times. We will be upgrading the node soon.
