I’m not in that area, but I am happy to chat about some experiences on different types of devices. A repeater or two and a few small trackers does a good job!

I have my eye on installing on a pi zero 2 w with a LoRa board. Is that still a feasible option? I've been looking at Amazon for devices. I have access to a MicroCenter store for a few more months. Been reading a bit here and there. Haven't gone full into it yet

So giving some easy devices from Heltec or lilygo a spin is probably the easiest way to get started. The t-echo works well or some of the others.. easy to flash new firmware and try it out!

These are great brands! Thank you for those terms!

Sure! I'll be curious to hear how it goes, and I'm happy to give any other feedback or thoughts. Been testing different configurations and things, but of course your mileage may vary based on your needs and environment.
