MANET network planning
Tutorial on using the CloudRF MANET planning tool to design a rural UHF network.
This powerful tool allows you to place nodes manually or import many nodes as a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or CSV file to automatically generate links and coverage. The network is re-modelled as nodes are dragged or changed.
Nodes can be moved by dragging, hidden or deleted using the right-click context menu. The finished design can be downloaded as a complete KMZ layer for viewing outside of CloudRF in Google Earth or WinTAK.

Really neat stuff. I'm curious to play around with presets for digital modes and bands that propagate differently, i.e. HF and upper-UHF
I am a little confused, isn't the radius a function of power and sensitivity ? What is bandwidth used for ?
In this software radius is user defined so you are free to adjust it. Bandwidth is only used to set channel noise in signal-to-noise mode. You can ignore it for received power.
How can we update the scripts to match current release files, e.g. "5.1-RELEASE-11"???
Assuming Linux: Use the md5sum / sha1sum checksum utilities to create a checksum for the new releases then add the checksums to the file which is checked upon start.
Any tutorials on how to use TDoA for rfeye?
Sorry no. Please try the @crfs_rfeye youtube channel.
Excellent tool, very effective and user friendly. Note to ATAK users, this tool as a plugin, is a substantial upgrade from the hillshade function.
Nice video but I think that Meshtastic doesn't use LoraWAN. It uses the normal LoRa protocol
That's correct. This will be corrected in a future video.
You need a pop filter, man.
Also correct!
really neat, I'd love to see the effect of raising an antenna off my roof vs leaving it near the ground. BUT I keep getting noticed from cloudrf about needing an account. I tried to disable the stuff to get it to spit out something, but it kept prompting for paid account.
Thanks. The free sub GHz plan is here: cloudrf.com/product/sub-ghz/
Login is faulty and then it's requesting to place an order - This sucks major time!

Very cool, thanks for sharing
Holy shit.
This does no longer work for 5.0 will there be an update for it? I cant seem to get it working...
It was built for v4.7. There's now a TPC setup script for this you might want to checkout at tak.gov

Really useful feature, thanks for the video!

I am running this on wsl2. Stored everything in tmp folder as shown. After shutdown, nothing is found in tmp folder. How?
Brilliant!
Cool stuff! Maybe the software can also introduce some padding for the location of the radio signal. It looks like it takes you to the very edge of the radio signal, but maybe the signal will be even better when a little further in the space
Thanks for the feedback. The 50m grid steps were picked for a demo but you're right; with more tests, this result could be improved, potentially down to 1m which we support.
doesn't seem to work on bookworm. It checks ports and then immediately tells me i need to install net-tools, but net-tools is definately installed.
Could you please explain to me what is the purpose of the Reliability and which effect does it have when I set it to 70% or 90%?
It is a 10dB margin on top of the path loss model for tuning where 50% is +0dB and 99% is 9.9dB.

Brilliant! It worked on the first try, thank you! I did manage to break it, but it's back up working.
Great work Alex. Thank you!

How to get the kml file? is it free?
Install and certs worked great with 4.8. I'm having issues with WebTAK though. Socket Disconnected, not connected to TAK Server. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
github.com/Cloud-RF/tak-server/issues/31
tried following tonight, with 4.8 release 31 - setup script keeps failing at line 279
tried using the same verson as you... 279 command not found
That's an old issue. If you run "git log -n 1 | grep commit" from the tak-server folder what does it give you?
Lo pudo hacer?
commit a0352491f98148b837cba48f0e49ed8b494e3eb0 I’m having that same issue.

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I'm having some issues with the cert gen.. It just keeps repeating and shows "ERROR: No container found for tak_1" on an Ubuntu 20.04 VM. I looked through the github page and checked everything. Any idea what I'm missing?
Try now with the latest release. Several bugs have been fixed. github.com/Cloud-RF/tak-server/releases
Is there a link to the site?
Do you need docker and docker compose installed as prerequisite?
Answer is here: github.com/Cloud-RF/tak-server/blob/main/README.md
When I run this on my Synology NAS it gives me an error No container found for tak_1...
That NAS does not have the unzip utility. The latest release supports 7zip for a NAS: github.com/Cloud-RF/tak-server/releases/tag/4.7-r20-7zip
What happened to the taky video? Also can't find the cloud-rf taky files on github.

Great Feature team CloudRF, will be using this feature for sure. Thanks Kevin
I'm setting up the BobCat Miner (Helium Network) ... Earlier in the video you stated " 6ft off the balcony".. I live In Queens New York,. and the houses in queens are similar to the houses in Brooklyn...so its is about 28meters tall (according to google earth)....Now i'm not going to be able to place my Antenna on the roof, however i'm on the 2nd floor of the complex, so i'd say that my height is about 27meters, give or take.... so thats roughly 81 ft from the ground. Can I use that instead? or should I 6ft as the lowest point?
Im really new to Ubuntu. So Im stuck. The page told me to run $ sudo python3 -m pip install taky I did and its installed then i had to find out what /tmp is. So i got that figured out. Now when i try to change the directory to taky i get "bash: cd: /taky: No such file or directory"
If I am correct I have to create that directory then access it? Im honestly trying to learn.
so i got all the way to set up. Then the computer told me i didn't have admin access so i had to create an admin user group then go at it. Now im getting a message back wanting me to log into git hub for personal access tokens wich is generating an error of its own. Oh the fun. 2 min has turned into a 12 hour straight run at this problem lol.

You say a better antenna gives 10-20% gain performance and call that negligible? Hell, even my wife can tell you 10-20% gain in performance is very important.

Is there a version of the mininalist server that I could use on a basic android device? A server app essentially that I could use as the "HQ" connection allowing ATAK share and chat over its own network area?
Possible with a rooted Android device and python3 but if that one node loses comms - everyone loses comms. Worth bearing in mind when weighing up the effort against putting it on a $5 web host.
@@cloudrfdotcom good point, what about trying to tie a short range radio to your HQ server and using it as a mobile network for operations. Similar to how I've seen people integrate the baefong and other RF repeaters in with plugins.
@@honeybadgeractual5734 All doable with enough time. It's pretty low bandwidth. Wes is your man: th-cam.com/video/-a_bKDT84nI/w-d-xo.html
