    Have you thought about not trying to drag meshtastic down to try and prop ham up?

    I get it, you spent a bunch of time studying for your ham and you don’t want it to feel like a waste, but lets be perfectly frank here- most people aren’t going to get a HAM license. It IS, however, VERY accessible for someone to buy a cheap gadget on sale to try out.

    I never understand why ham radio people always try to sabotage every other communication method, but you guys do it every time.

    Let other people communicate how they want.

        it isn’t really adding anything that can’t also be done on ham.

        Encryption, affordability, ease of access.

            It is a misconception that you cannot do encryption with ham radio.

            Encryption: read the comments - in some jurisdictions you can’t (legally).
            Affordability: in some parts of the work it’s expensive to get a ham license (required by law).
            Ease of access: that one’s subjective, fine.
