KI6NAZ aka HRCC takes a look at the hottest new Open Source Ham Radio Project: KV4P
Turn your phone into a 2m ham radio for $35 with only 3 components to solder:
“One of the coolest open source projects I've seen in a while. Turn your android cell phone into a 2 meter HT”
These features are insanely cool:
⚡️Only $35 to build, with 3 components to solder
⚡️ 100% ham radio, always completely off-grid
⚡️ Crystal-clear 44kHz 8-bit ADC/DAC audio, with filters and squelch
⚡️ Texting with notifications just like SMS — radio-based APRS messaging (not just location) with built-in 1200 baud modem
⚡️ Scan through unlimited memories and groups
⚡️ No battery means nothing to charge except your phone
⚡️ 1 watt transmit can go miles yet sips your phone's battery
⚡️ Accessibility options: live closed captions (on supported phones), turn off animations, sticky PTT with haptic feedback

Of all of the Meshtastic compatible devices, the Seeed Studio T1000e probably has the slickest form factor as an EDC mesh node. Highly recommend checking it out.
⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ I have heard that this device is going to be getting Reticulum RNode firmware soon. ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

Incredible stuff here. Bitcoiners are on the ground reestablishing communications with Starlink & Meshtastic and providing vital assistance to where it is needed.
“Join us as we hear firsthand accounts from Shane and Coleman, who are on the ground working tirelessly with the Bitcoin Veterans and Christian Rangers to provide essential support to affected communities.
We discuss the monumental efforts being made by volunteers from across the country, the challenges of communication in disaster zones, and the innovative use of technology like Starlink and Meshtastic to establish vital connections. Shane shares insights into the efficiency of grassroots efforts compared to traditional government responses, highlighting the importance of local involvement and self-sufficiency.
As we explore the immediate needs of the community, we emphasize the call for volunteers with various skill sets, from medical professionals to emotional support providers. We also touch on the critical need for supplies, including cold weather gear, generators, and livestock feed.
