Consider a different role when:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Router</strong> — You have a node in a fixed, elevated location with reliable power (rooftop, hilltop). Routers stay awake continuously to relay messages for others and are essential for extending mesh coverage. Don’t use Router on battery-powered handheld radios.</li> <li><strong>Router Late</strong> — An infrastructure node that always rebroadcasts packets once but only after all other routing modes have had their turn. Provides supplemental coverage for local clusters without competing with primary routers.</li> <li><strong>Client Base</strong> — Treats traffic from/to your favorited nodes with Router Late priority (ensuring those messages get extra relay coverage) while handling everything else as a normal Client.</li> <li><strong>Client Mute</strong> — You want to receive mesh traffic but not contribute to relaying. Useful for monitoring-only radios or to reduce congestion in dense areas.</li> <li><strong>Tracker</strong> — An unattended radio whose sole purpose is broadcasting its GPS position (e.g., a vehicle, pet, or asset). Sleeps between broadcasts to conserve battery.</li> <li><strong>Sensor</strong> — An unattended radio reporting environmental telemetry (temperature, humidity, air quality). Similar power profile to Tracker.</li> <li><strong>TAK / TAK Tracker</strong> — Only needed if interoperating with ATAK/WinTAK systems. See <a href="tak">TAK Integration</a> for details.</li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>💡 <strong>Tip:</strong> The mesh works best when most nodes are <strong>Client</strong> or <strong>Router</strong>. Too many Client Mute nodes reduce mesh resilience; too many Routers in a dense area can cause congestion. A good rule of thumb: one Router per 5–10 Clients in your area.</p> </blockquote> <h3 id="security-indicators"> <a href="#security-indicators" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="security-indicators"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Security indicators </h3> <p>Each node carries one security icon beside its name in the node list. Tap it to read what it means, and choose <strong>Show All Meanings</strong> in that dialog for the full legend. The detail screen shows the same state in words, as a <strong>Security</strong> row that opens the same dialog.</p> <div class="table-wrapper"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Icon</th> <th>Meaning</th> <th>Shown for</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Person with a shield check (green)</td> <td><strong>Verified contact</strong> — you verified this node’s key in person by exchanging contact QR codes, so its identity is confirmed. The strongest trust the list shows. Your own connected node carries it too</td> <td>Any firmware version</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Nodes icon with a shield check (green)</td> <td><strong>Signed node</strong> — this node signs its broadcasts with its identity key, so its identity is consistent over time, but you have not verified it in person. On firmware 2.8 the icon appears from the version alone, before any signed broadcast has been heard</td> <td>Firmware 2.8 or newer, and any node whose signed broadcast your node has verified</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🔒 Closed lock</td> <td>A public key is on file and matches, so direct messages to this node are encrypted</td> <td>Firmware before 2.8, or no reported version</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🔓 Open lock</td> <td>No public key has been received for this node, so it cannot be direct messaged — use <strong>Request User Info</strong> on the node detail page to ask for one</td> <td>Firmware before 2.8, or no reported version</td> </tr> <tr> <td>⚠️ Mismatch</td> <td><strong>Public key mismatch</strong> — a different key arrived for this node after one was stored. Investigate before trusting</td> <td>Any firmware version</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <p>Every node on firmware 2.8 or newer signs its broadcasts, so on that firmware the signed state is the baseline and the locks are not shown.</p> <p>Direct messages always use public-key encryption, so your node needs the other node’s public key before it can send one. It refuses the send rather than falling back to channel encryption. Keys arrive inside node info, which is why an open lock usually clears itself once that node is heard from properly.</p> <p>A mismatch never replaces the key you already hold. The app keeps the first key it recorded and refuses the new one, as the firmware does, so a stray or hostile node info cannot silently break encrypted messaging to a contact. To clear a mismatch, first confirm through another trusted channel that the key change was intentional — a factory reset causes one. Then touch & hold the node, choose <strong>Remove</strong>, and let the two nodes exchange keys again the next time yours hears it.</p> <h2 id="quick-actions"> <a href="#quick-actions" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="quick-actions"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Quick Actions </h2> <p>From the node list, you can:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Tap</strong> a node to view its detail page</li> <li><strong>Touch & hold</strong> for quick actions: <ul> <li>Mark/remove favorite</li> <li>Mute/unmute notifications</li> <li>Send a direct message</li> <li>Trace route</li> <li>Ignore/unignore</li> <li>Remove</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Touch & hold <strong>your own node</strong> instead and you get one action, <strong>Update status</strong>, which opens the User settings screen with the cursor already in the Status Message field. It only appears while the radio is connected and running firmware 2.8 or newer — see <a href="settings-radio-user.md">Settings — Radio & User</a> for the field itself.</p> <h2 id="sharing-a-contact"> <a href="#sharing-a-contact" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="sharing-a-contact"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Sharing a Contact </h2> <p>On a node’s detail screen, tap <strong>Share Contact</strong> to produce a link and a QR code for that node. From the same dialog, <strong>Share link</strong> opens the Android share sheet (on desktop it copies the link instead), <strong>Write to NFC tag</strong> saves it to a writable NFC tag, and <strong>Copy</strong> puts it on the clipboard. While that dialog is open and in front of you, the phone also offers the same link to any NFC reader, so someone can take the contact by tapping their phone against yours with no tag involved.</p> <p>Sharing your own contact this way marks it as verified in person, so whoever imports it sees the <strong>Verified contact</strong> icon rather than the signed one. Relaying someone else’s contact passes on only what your app had already recorded about them.</p> <p>To add someone else’s contact, use the import button on the node list and choose <strong>Scan Shared Contact QR Code</strong>, <strong>Scan Shared Contact NFC</strong>, or <strong>Input Shared Contact URL</strong>. The app asks you to confirm with <strong>Import Shared Contact?</strong>, and warns you when the contact is one you already have.</p> <h2 id="filtering--sorting"> <a href="#filtering--sorting" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="filtering--sorting"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Filtering & Sorting </h2> <h3 id="text-search"> <a href="#text-search" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="text-search"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Text Search </h3> <p>Type in the search field to filter nodes by name or short name.
