    I went to look at the ft5dr. I was ready to purchase. But when it would not show frequencies while scanning, that was an instant deal breaker for me. So I bought a pristine ft3dr, have had it over a year now, and it does everything I need it to do, including showing the scanning frequencies, and I saved over 200.00. Just my opinion.

  • @AndrewJonesMcGuire

    Corrections and additions. 1) Everyone should stay as client, there is no need to use router_client if it can be avoided, client does everything router does, it's just that router doesn't wait as long to see if anyone else is going to rebroadcast as client mode does. Which means a router in a not advantageous position can actually impact the coverage area of the mesh. 2) Rebroadcast mode has no effect in any role but repeater. 3) Power saving only turns off wifi and bluetooth, the radio is still active while the device is sleeping and will wake up when the radio receives something - router and repeater mode both put the device into this state, so it would be rubbish if the radio switched off in power saving mode. 4) Store and Forward per the docs, shouldn't be used on any LongRange preset or in a region with a duty cycle limit. 5) Remote hardware is nothing to do with remote management. 6) NeighbourInfo is very spammy and can cause major congestion issues on a busy mesh, don't use it if you can get away with not needing it. 7) The firmware due out soon has a nice new feature where the Hop Limit that your node uses is stored in the header (HopStart) of every packet (just like the HopLimit is now) but while HopLimit gets decremented on every rebroadcast, HopStart stays at the original value. This means when your node receives any packet from a node with the new firmware, the difference between HopStart and HopLimit will give an indication of how many hops that packet took. Obviously a difference of 0 = Direct Neighbour. This should hopefully also reduce the need for people to do so many traceroutes too, because in the majority of cases people just want to know how many hops were needed not the actual nodes involved.
