Hello I’m looking to carry out a bit of a site survey to check the placement of lora sensor nodes. Basically working out where they will be picked up. The site is quite hilly and forested for I think it’s necessary before installation. I’ve seen a few “field testers” . Has anyone had any experience of them? How useful/helpful they are? Any recommended models? Ta
Forum search will probably get you some answers but mostly opinions.
You didn’t mention it, so have you looked at one of the potential outputs - like TTN Mapper?
Have you figured out that trees reduce ISM band radio signals a lot and wet trees with foliage pretty much block them?
I’d personally recommend https://www.kroonos.tech/shop/lorangefinder-1/ as you will get some superlative one on one support from the vendor. I’ve got one in front of me on my desk and even I haven’t managed to break mine yet, so it is robust for going out & about. And it has many buttons to play with.
