H1 - Complete Device: Heltec V3 running Meshtastic®

Just discovered Meshastic and Muziworks and cant wait to see the growth and mesh growth.

I received my ready-to-use H1 and a case with accessories to complement the basic Heltec V3 unit I already own, as well as whip antennas. This is astoundingly great! Flashing with the newest firmware (2.5.15 as of the time of this writing) was easy and they recognized each other immediately!

I only have two concerns; the first is that I don't exactly know where a GPS module would fit alongside everything else, if there's ways to do that without having to resort to a different case or an auxiliary module, I'd love to know. The second major issue is that the 3d printing ended up covering up the LED holes; I had to bore them out myself with an X-acto knife (hence why I can't give 5 stars). Other than that, assembly was surprisingly straightforward, and everything fits tight!

This was my first little mesh buddy and it was so much fun I got a friend for him! Warning: you won’t get just one!

Got my two H1 today and discovered 2 other nodes in my town, 1km and 5km away. Great stuff!

I really like it. The H1 is a beast to put it mildly. Yes the meshtastic app is not really aware of local regulation (the default exceeds swiss regulatory limits of radiation by 180% with the 1.5SWR whip antenna), but even with proper configuration it still has a nice range and in case of a internet / carrier network, you can run it at its real ability to get some serious range (there are a few nodes in switzerland that are clearly not configured correctly given the 3 hop range I can get which should be around 35-40km, not >100km) which only shows how great this device and antenna are.
