Test2 — 500 kHz MeshCore Spectrum Test (Sept 19–20, 2026)

More bandwidth, fewer retransmissions, faster propagation — that's the goal of our 500 kHz backhaul, and Test2 goes looking for the frequency to deliver it. On Friday, September 19 and Saturday, September 20, 2026 we'll run a spectrum study to find the optimal frequency for our 500 kHz backhaul, which means taking the Cougar Mountain repeater offline a few times to sweep and analyze the RF spectrum. Expect intermittent Cougar outages across those two days. Questions or coordination in the backhaul-testing Discord channel.
