Ahh fair enough. I can see where you’re coming from.

I find the added redundancy to be a beneficial addition in my scenario, particularly for emergency situations where cell service is out (due to overuse/congestion).

These don’t need multiple points of redundancy to work but it does add peace of mind imo. Decentralization is a core principle of Meshtastic so that’s also another strong point that pushed me towards the protocol.

But I can respect not everyone has the same requirements or interests :)

Sweet, have fun! Heltecs are some of the easiest devices to get started with. Just make sure to keep it charged :)
