Digital Modes

For digital modes, fldigi is recommended. Since multiple modes will be employed, use of Reed-Solomon Identification (RSID) is recommended. In fldigi this is labeled "RXID" and "TXID" in the upper-right portion of the display.


Meshtastic Setup

Use the following parameters to join both the default and toorcamp channels. You will need a 915mhz Meshtastic device to participate.

Channel 0 (Primary)
Name:
PSK: AQ==
Uplink: DISABLED
Downlink: DISABLED
Role: CLIENT
Modem Preset: LONG_FAST
Region: US
Hop Limit: 3
Channel 1 (Secondary)
Name: ToorCamp
PSK: thunder34magic83imagine90gracious75wallabyw=
Uplink: DISABLED
Downlink: DISABLED
Role: CLIENT
Modem Preset: LONG_FAST
Region: US
Hop Limit: 3

Note: The default primary channel name is blank, please leave it that way so you end up on the right frequency!

Note2: Updated the Toorcamp channel preset to LONG_FAST as you can't have multiple modem presets configured. LONG_FAST will ensure interoperation with all default-configured units.
