It's because we've tried Meshtastic and MeshCore. Look at where the bytes go in the network. Meshtastic it's usually under 5% of traffic is text and for MeshCore it's over 50%. If you want to communicate MeshCore is designed to do that.

If you're looking for parts the Diamond BC920 is the best antenna. Station G2 with a $100 3-4mhz cavity filter for each frequency as well.
Any sort of disaster they also are useful to get messages around. A couple days into a power outage and no cell towers work anymore, this happened 1 week before thanksgiving in the Seattle area 2024.
CLI Meshtastic flasher that works well. No internet mesh networking sounds awesome; just the bandwidth is extremely limited
