Thanks for the feedback. I think this project is a little bit different, we are focusing for now on making a nice end-user friendly consumer product using hardware that is already shipping from various aliexpress vendors. our tag line is "An opensource hiking, pilot, skiing, Signal-App-extending GPS mesh communicator for $30" We are currently using RadioHead mesh library, but we might shift to a common implementation with the disaster radio geeks. btw: Back when I was writing Andropilot I also wrote a fair portion of the code that is in those RFD900 radios (or at least was, I haven't checked in a while). I'm super glad you are using them!

Keep the hacking ability. Your large target demographic may not use or need it, but tinkerers will hype your product for free, at least in theory. See the RTL_SDR as an example, although it is a low cost DVB tuner.

  oh yes - definitely want people to hack and add features (or use it as auto configuring pipes for other projects etc...). I'm just trying to say "at least for 1.0" we are trying to stay focused on this one primary thing. ;-)

  > Keep the hacking ability. Unofficially, CEO of one of the biggest vendors of dvb-t receivers in my country said that he isn't that technical, but he knows very well that he is still biggest vendor because his devices can be hacked.
