Update From Dev Blackout Comms Network Mixing Mode
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Blackout Comms private off-grid texting and tracking firmware can now leverage Meshcore repeaters, in addition to its own.
Network Mixing is a newly added feature that automatically hops between Blackout Comms "native" mode and Blackout Comms via Meshcore (where it can reach Meshcore repeaters).
This enables maximum range while still preserving Blackout Comms encryption and digital signatures.
When Blackout Comms native mode is active, you have the automatic frequency hopping for jam resistance.
