Meshtastic settings

Tutorial on applying the correct settings to model the range of a Meshtastic LoRa node.

This tutorial was created using features available in the FREE sub GHz plan: https://cloudrf.com/plans

Range will vary significantly depending on obstacles and height. For the best range, get your radio above the ground clutter (trees, buildings). If you cannot get any height and are using it in a dense urban or wooded environment, your range will generally be less than 2km.
Placing it on a mountain however could get you over a hundred km with the same hardware. The limiting factor is attenuating obstacles.

Receiver sensitivity: -136dBm
Elevation: DTM
Landcover: ON
Buildings: ON
Resolution: 5m
Radius: 2 to ? km - depends on height and obstacles. Free plan can only do 5km
