    Thanks for the summary! I’m willing to go to $100 or so, but I kind of want 2 which makes me want to go for something cheaper just to explore. I have been looking at some of the ones on etsy. Lilygo seems very sleak. I need to ponder further.

      I will say, as a beginner you definitely want to make sure you only get a module that is in Meshtastic’s official firmware support list. Supported devices are a one-and-done with automatic firmware flashers and everything set to go, it Just Works™. Any other hardware like from etsy, well there’s no guarantees it will work well without a lot of custom work on the firmware.
