So you can download an app on a phone, plug a CB radio into the headphone jack, and use that for sending text messages off grid.
170 bytes can be sent in a .4 second high pitched screech that people listening to the radio without the translator app can't read.
All this fucking around with lora got me no where lol.
Half my friends already have a pair of CB radios, a fair chunk of the cars driving around already have a CB. Every construction site every road worker already has a CB.
The infrastructure is already there.
