Yeti Wurks Meshtastic Base Station

Expected to be Available  in Early May!!!!!  The first batch will only be 50 devices and these 50 will be discounted to $99.99! After the first batch the price will go to the normal price of $124.99.

Note:

Please be aware that the images displayed are from an Alpha prototype and will be updated upon production. Production devices will have slight internal setup variations, including a switch to a 4 x 18650 battery pack, from SMA to Type N antenna, and utilizing a connector to the PCB for power illumination instead of direct soldering. The USB-C pass-through will also change to a single integrated part from two separate components (pass-through and short USB-C cable).
