433 MHz in the EU. Is there anybody out there

6 months ago by eutampieri to c/meshtastic

Some time ago I bought a LilyGo module tuned at 433 MHz, but with the built in antenna I couldn't reach anyone. Is this to be expected? Can I put the module to some use?

Over here meshtastic is pretty dead, just derelict repeaters. All the conversation is on meshcore so be sure to check there too

Check what channel your local area uses

Update: I bought another 433 MHz node and they work! Damn, this tech is so cool!

433 is not really popular here for the mesh networks. It's mostly dominated by weather stations, tire pressure sensors and gate remotes.

I know I'm late to the party, but did you ever find an answer for this question?

No, you’re not! I’ve bought a second 433 node to find out if the problem was my node. Also, 433 MHz might work at higher frequencies
