We invite W2SO Members to join us at the Lancaster Amateur Radio Club General Meeting this September 2nd, where we will be diving into the exciting world of Meshtastic — the open-source, long-range, low-power mesh communication platform.
To make the most of our time together, we’re asking participants to update their Meshtastic devices in advance with a special channel and LoRa configuration that will be used during the meeting. This ensures everyone can connect seamlessly and take part in live demonstrations, testing, and collaboration.
How to Prepare
We’ve made setup simple:
👉 Scan the QR Code (below or at the meeting)
👉 Or click the link provided to automatically assign the correct channel and LoRa settings to your device
https://meshtastic.org/e/#CgMSAQEKHRIQBIYbPd2Vyq2ks_bshhCKTBoEVzJTTyUBAAAAEg4IARAEOAFAA0gBUB5oAQ
That’s it! Once updated, your node will be ready to mesh with the group at W2SO.
Why Update in Advance?
- Instant Connectivity – Join the shared network as soon as you arrive
- Hands-On Demos – Participate in live examples without setup delays
- Community Building – Experience how Meshtastic strengthens communication across Western New York
- Event Ready Mesh – The event configuration includes sensible defaults to help ensure stability of the dense mesh environment we expect to experience
