## Meshtastic LongFast Settings
|
|
|
|
Default channel settings for the Las Vegas area mesh:
|
|
|
|
<div class="settings">
|
|
<span class="label">Frequency:</span> <span class="value">906.875 MHz</span><br>
|
|
<span class="label">Modem Preset:</span> <span class="value">LongFast</span><br>
|
|
<span class="label">Channel Name:</span> <span class="value">LongFast</span><br>
|
|
<span class="label">Region:</span> <span class="value">US</span><br>
|
|
<span class="label">Hop Limit:</span> <span class="value">3</span><br>
|
|
<span class="label">Encryption:</span> <span class="value">Default (AQ==)</span><br>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
These are the standard Meshtastic LongFast defaults for the US region. Just set your region to **US** and modem preset to **LongFast** and you'll be on the same channel as everyone else.
