Best for

Experienced operators setting up a fixed station who understand the power limits that apply to them.

Strengths

SMA antenna connector for a proper outdoor antenna.
1.3 in OLED status screen.
MeshCore FAQ names the Station G2.

Limitations

High output power brings regulatory responsibility.
No enclosure rating stated.
Not on our partner list; availability not checked.

What it does not do

Stay within the general US unlicensed power limit at full output: 35 dBm is about 3.2 W, while 47 CFR 15.247 caps conducted output at 1 W in this band. Set output within the rules that apply to you.
Run from a small battery for long: it expects a 9 to 19 V supply.

"Documented" means the maker or project publishes support for this model. It does not mean we tested it. How we rate compatibility.

MeshCore and Meshtastic are separate firmware and network systems. Check the exact hardware model, firmware, regional radio setting and local coverage before buying. These low-data-rate systems do not replace emergency services or broadband.

Operate radio equipment within your local frequency, power and equipment-authorization rules. Firmware compatibility is not regulatory approval.

Before you buy

US rules for this band (47 CFR 15.247) cap conducted output at 1 W for digitally modulated systems and require reducing power when antenna gain exceeds 6 dBi.
Licensed amateur operation is a separate rule set (47 CFR Part 97), which prohibits messages encoded to obscure their meaning.
