Meshtastic or MeshCore? The Truth After Real-World Testing

from HamShackTV Hosted by HamShackTV

This week on HamShackTV Live — we’re diving into one of the biggest debates in the off-grid and radio tech world right now: Meshtastic vs MeshCore. Two platforms. Two philosophies. Two very different approaches to mesh networking. We’re breaking down: • Ease of setup • Stability and reliability • BLE performance • Mapping capabilities • Encryption & security • Relay roles and node behavior • iOS vs Android experience • Real-world field use • Strengths and weaknesses of both systems If you’re running LoRa nodes, solar relays, LilyGo T-Decks, RAK4630 boards, or building out your own off-grid comms network — this one matters. We’re not here for hype. We’re here for facts and field experience. 📅 March 5 🕗 8PM Eastern 🌍 01:00 UTC Live, Learn, Transmit. Welcome to the shack. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
