Configuration notes
The ANZ Meshtastic region selects a legal regional band plan, but communities still need compatible channel and modem settings. The New Zealand community has published regional changes, including ShortFast use in busy areas. MeshCore uses its own presets and is not interoperable with Meshtastic even when the radios occupy overlapping spectrum.
