    If I’m not mistaken licensed operators have to run at less power on meshtastic. I’ll see if I can find where/why and update.

    I was wrong:

    "What is the benefit of using a ham license with Meshtastic? If you use your ham radio license with Meshtastic, consider both the privileges and restrictions:

    Privileges Increased Transmit Power Up to 10W transmit power in the United States! 47 CFR 97.313(j) Higher Gain Antennas Restrictions Plain-Text Only On amateur radio bands, encryption is illegal. FCC Part 97.113.A.4 Lack of Privacy As a ham operator, it is a requirement that you identify yourself by your call sign periodically when transmitting. Your call sign will be publicly transmitted at least once every 10 minutes at minimum. FCC Part 97.119.A"
