One Meshtastic Filter is TRASH. Airframes vs. Competition Filter War PLUS Build your own Supernode
Ready to supercharge your Meshtastic network? In this video, I walk you through the complete setup of my dual Station G2 SuperNode, perfect for off-grid communication, emergency networks, and robust ham radio setups. I’ll also test two Meshtastic-specific filters, one by AirFrames and another by L-Com, to see which performs best. Plus, we’re using some cool tech like POE to USB-C converters and a POE splitter for a clean, power-efficient build.
