👋🏻 Brand new to this. I just ordered 2x T1000-E. I can’t wait to try it.

I have one sitting next to me right now! Good battery life and surprisingly good range for such a tiny node. Just don't lose those fancy charging cables!

I read a bunch and people seem to really like them. I thought that’s a good place to start.

You chose a good node for your first one. I got mine back in January and just sold it recently to a guy who did not have one and bought a Helltec MeshPocket for the extra battery life.
The T1000E lasted me about three days if I had location turned off or manually set and had Sx126x RX boosted gain turned off.
I haven't gotten the chance to really put the mesh pocket through its paces, but so far I've seen a minimum of 10 days worth of battery life, which I appreciate since I live in tropical storm areas

My understanding is that it's a generic-ish 4 Pin 7.62mm interface used on smartwatches, etc. (example). I've read that people with both the T1000e and Rak Tag can use the cables interchangeably. I don't have both so I can't confirm.

Let us know how those go, I've been looking at them for awhile :)

Will do but I won’t have any comparison or real knowledge haha

I've been curious about getting into meshtastic. What are you using these for?
We have a farm. I want to see if we can replace walkie talkies as we just always forget to bring them. These little guys enable your phones even without cell reception. At least that’s what I want to try.
Well you won't be talkin' that's for sure! 😄
They should work as long as there's no trees or buildings in the way. If there are, installing one up high, say the roof of a barn or on top of a silo should allow the rest to bounce off of it.
