Hurricanes are a problem here in Florida and communication can be though during the outage or hours after. My neighbors and I use a specific channel with cheap BaoFengs to check on each other and make sure we are all stocked, but it would be nice to have the ability to text within a group chat (not everyone understands radios, unfortunately).
How can I setup a local area network over radio? I've tried transferring data over the BaoFengs with adapters and a custom app, but it was very slow.

- rozap 3y agoThere are lots of tutorials on how to do this with an Arduino and a Lora shield. It just appears as a serial device to the PC. Some friends and I use this type of setup in our car for telemetry in a low budget endurance racing series. It has been pretty bulletproof.
- nvy 3y agoThat's sweet, do you have a link to a tutorial?
