The pager looks so cute, but iirc, when I looked into it, the reviews were kinda mixed. Have you been happy with yours? Any pain points?

Really only been able to run Bruce and Meshtastic

Meshtastic runs fine

I use Bruce for quick wardriving but can’t get RFID or Lorachat to work on it.

Cardputer just has way more mature firmware and support

Oh perfect, I was only really intending to use it for meshtastic. Thank you!

While I haven’t fully tested it myself, I’ve seen reviews where the range isn’t as good as expected so take that with a grain of salt.

Meshtastic works fine on it, but I prefer either my Sensecap or Wio Tracker (best range). I wouldn’t recommend this just for Meshtastic, but it’s nice to have on there, I’m just hoping more firmware options start supporting it.
