<pre class="markdown-content"># Settings — Radio &amp; User
Configure your radio hardware and user identity parameters.
## User Settings
### User Profile
Setting | Deskripsyon |
----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Long Name | Your display name (up to 39 characters) |
Short Name | 4-character abbreviated name |
Licensed Operator | Enable if you hold an amateur radio license (enables higher power) |
### Applying Changes
After modifying settings, tap **Save** to write the configuration to your radio. The device may reboot to apply changes.
## Configuration
### Device Config
Setting | Deskripsyon | Default |
------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
Role | Node behavior (Client, Router, etc.) | Client |
Rebroadcast Mode | How the node retransmits messages | All |
Node Info Broadcast (s) | Interval for broadcasting node info | 10800 |
Double-tap Button | Action for double-tap button press | Disabled |
### LoRa Config
Setting | Deskripsyon | Default |
----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
Rejyon | Regulatory region for frequency bands | Unset (must configure) |
Modem Preset | Speed/range tradeoff | LongFast |
Hop Limit | Maximum retransmit hops | 3 |
TX Power | Transmission power (dBm); 0 = max allowed for region | 0 (region max) |
Frequency Offset | Fine-tune frequency (MHz) | 0 |
Channel Bandwidth | Bandwidth setting | Default for preset |
&gt; ⚠️ **Important:** You **must** set your region before transmitting. Operating without the correct region may violate local radio regulations. See the [region configuration guide](https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/initial-config) on meshtastic.org for details.
### Modem Presets
&gt; 💡 **Tip:** The **SNR Limit** values are negative on purpose. LoRa can decode signals _below_ the noise floor, so a more-negative limit means the preset tolerates a weaker, noisier signal (more range). See [How the Signal Meter Works](signal-meter) for the full explanation.
Preset | Range | Speed | SNR Limit | Best For |
------------------ | ----------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Short Turbo | ~1 km | 21.9 kbps | −7.5 dB | Dense urban with line-of-sight; data-heavy applications |
Short Fast | ~3 km | 10.9 kbps | −7.5 dB | Urban neighborhoods; buildings within a few blocks |
Short Slow | ~5 km | 5.5 kbps | −10 dB | Suburban short-range; moderate building density |
Medium Fast | ~5 km | 5.5 kbps | −12.5 dB | Suburban areas; moderate building density |
Medium Slow | ~8 km | 1.1 kbps | −15 dB | Suburban/rural; moderate range with slower speed |
Long Turbo | ~10 km | 4.4 kbps | −12.5 dB | Similar range to Long Fast but with 500 kHz bandwidth; faster throughput |
Long Fast | ~10 km | 1.1 kbps | −17.5 dB | **General use (default)** — balanced range and speed |
Long Moderate | ~20 km | 0.34 kbps | −17.5 dB | Rural with some terrain; occasional use |
Lite Fast | ~5 km | 5.5 kbps | −12.5 dB | EU 866 MHz SRD band (125 kHz BW); comparable to Medium Fast |
Lite Slow | ~10 km | 1.1 kbps | −15 dB | EU 866 MHz SRD band (125 kHz BW); comparable to Long Fast |
Narrow Fast | ~5 km | 2.7 kbps | −10 dB | EU 868 MHz band (62.5 kHz BW); avoids interference with other devices |
Narrow Slow | ~10 km | 1.1 kbps | −12.5 dB | EU 868 MHz band (62.5 kHz BW); comparable to Long Fast |
~~Long Slow~~ | ~30 km | 0.18 kbps | −20 dB | ⚠️ **Deprecated** — still selectable but may be removed in a future firmware release |
~~Very Long Slow~~ | ~40+ km | 0.09 kbps | −20 dB | ⚠️ **Deprecated** — still selectable but may be removed in a future firmware release |
&gt; ℹ️ **Note:** This table uses the common short names. In the app's preset dropdown they read as **Short Range - Fast**, **Long Range - Fast**, **Lite - Fast**, **Narrow - Fast**, and so on.
#### Choosing a Modem Preset
The modem preset controls the fundamental tradeoff between **range** and **data rate**:
- **Slower presets** use more spreading, making signals decodable at weaker signal levels (lower SNR limit). This means longer range but fewer bytes per second.
- **Faster presets** pack more data per transmission but require a stronger signal to decode.
**Practical guidance:**
- **Urban mesh (many nodes, short distances):** Use **Long Fast** (default) or **Short Fast**. Higher speed means less airtime congestion when many nodes share the channel.
- **Rural/sparse mesh (few nodes, long distances):** Use **Long Moderate**. Range matters more than speed when nodes are far apart.
- **EU 866/868 MHz regulatory compliance:** Use **Lite Fast**, **Lite Slow**, **Narrow Fast**, or **Narrow Slow** — these are optimized for the EU SRD/868 MHz bands with narrower bandwidths.
- **Fixed infrastructure links:** Use **Short Turbo** or **Long Turbo** for dedicated point-to-point links with good antennas and line-of-sight.
- **Mixed environments:** Stick with **Long Fast** — it's the community default and ensures compatibility with others in your area.
&gt; ⚠️ **Important:** All nodes on the same channel **must** use the same modem preset. Nodes with mismatched presets cannot communicate even if they share the same frequency and encryption key.
&gt; 💡 **Tip:** The range estimates above assume flat terrain and modest antennas. Elevation advantage (hilltop, rooftop) dramatically increases effective range. A well-placed Router with Long Fast can often outperform a ground-level node with Long Slow.
