I went down a reading rabbit hole with the recent Meshtastic posts, and decided to pick up 2 LILYGO T-Echo units to fuss around with. One for home base and one will go in my car kit, and out on the trails.
Nice, enjoy it. If you have any questions let me know.
To get the best range make sure to replace the antenna, Here are some recommended by Meshtastic Team.
