    I’m about to start with meshtastic. A few years ago, my wife bought some “illegal” FRS/GMRS radios, and it was cheaper and easier to get my GMRS license than it was to return the radios, and that whole process opened up a world of invisible bullshit I could get lost in.

      I got the Baofeng fever a bit ago and I made a radio “Go Box”
      I designed and 3d printed the center console. it has a battery and an onboard trickle charger and the USBs will charge the radios

          I got a GMRS license, I know they’re technically still not legal, I never transmit off GMRS frequencies.

            Oof. Sorry, didn’t mean to call you out on your “illegal” rig. Looks nice though. My set up is just a couple of midland radios. I give one to my wife when she’s chatty and tries to hold a convo with me from her office upstairs.
