#### What is it?

The Disaster-Radio 915MHz Kit is a long-range, decentralized messaging node built on the reliable LoRa32 V2.1_1.6 hardware revision. It allows you to create an independent communication network that functions without cellular service, Wi-Fi, or internet.

This is a complete hardware bundle optimized for the North American and Australian 915MHz frequency band, featuring:

LoRa32 V2.1_1.6 Board: Optimized power management and built-in OLED display.

High-Gain SMA Antenna: Precision-tuned for 915MHz to ensure maximum building penetration.

Full Accessory Pack: JST 1.25mm battery cable and pin headers included for easy setup.

#### Why did you make it?

In natural disasters or network outages, communication is the first thing to fail. I created this kit because I believe off-grid messaging should be accessible to everyone, not just tech experts.

Many hobbyists struggle to find the exact hardware revision that is fully compatible with the Disaster-Radio or Meshtastic firmware. This kit eliminates the guesswork—I've sourced, tested, and bundled everything so you can deploy your emergency node in minutes.

#### What makes it special?

Unlike generic LoRa development boards, this kit is refined for survival and long-term performance:

Ultra-Low Power: Consumes only 0.2uA in sleep mode—perfect for solar-powered permanent setups.

Superior Radio Range: +20dBm transmit power and -139dBm sensitivity for incredible open-field distance.

Ready to Flash: Fully compatible with disaster.radio, Meshtastic, and Paxcounter. We test the RF output of every board before shipping.

Reliable Hardware: The V2.1_1.6 revision features a real physical power switch and safer battery charging circuitry compared to cheaper clones.
