#meshtastic gang, I’ve been wanting a private off grid messenger since the days of gotenna and I think I’m about to jump in

I don’t want to dive in too deep a rabbit hole, just fairly simple messaging radios I can give friends/family. Looking at these two options so far, let me know if you have tips etc
