This device makes Meshtastic the BEST off-grid tech
Meshtastic is great! But it needs 'halo' devices like the T-Deck to expand beyond hobbyists.
Here are all the things I used to build my custom T-Deck:

3.7V 5000 mAh battery 706090: https://amzn.to/4dDTQ1m
915MHz LoRa antenna (whip): https://amzn.to/3BF6dNo
915MHz LoRa antenna kits (stubbies): https://amzn.to/3U8xApr
