@k2za_john@mastodon.hams.social @nullagent@partyon.xyz @gmoretti@mastodon.social my understanding is that encryption is allowed in the US for LoRa and wifi bands, both of which are supported. Same reason Meshtastic gets away with its "encryption". So still very viable imo as a Meshtastic replacement with much more functionality and better security. Sure as hell would be nice if it was legal to use it on other bands in the States though. The limitations for network speed/bandwidth on Reticulum really is just a legal one and not a technological one. It's not prohibited in the software luckily so the option is still there for the future if the laws change, during disaster relief situations, or for pirate mesh radio endeavors. That being said, considering how much the FCC has been gutted I'm curious how much they're actually enforcing radio encryption laws these days 🤷🏻‍♀️
