OFFGRID TACTIX
Off-Grid Mesh Communications
Small downloadable apps that run right on your Outpost radio and phone — sandboxed Lua, no accounts, no tracking, and once installed they work fully offline. The mesh is their network; your device fetches them itself, straight from this catalog.
Live RSSI and noise as tiles and a filled chart, with the noise floor dashed underneath, and the packets heard most recently with their type, signal bars, SNR and hop count.
A big live channel-load figure with session average and peak, a filled chart of load against the region duty-cycle limit, a bar splitting airtime into received vs transmitted, and a per-node top-talkers list from packet metadata.
Two modes for mapping where the mesh reaches: Active probes one node you choose on an interval while you drive a route, logging every reply with round-trip time, SNR, RSSI and the GPS position stamped at send; Passive sends nothing and logs every packet heard with its sender, signal and your position. Runs and samples are kept on the device for review; export a finished survey from the host.
Trackball, touch, or keys move the paddle. Clear every brick to win; your best score is kept on the device.
The easy way to install: on your T-Deck or in the Android app, open SETUP → EXPANSIONS and tap Get — the device downloads, verifies the checksum and installs it for you. Every app here is free, works offline once installed, and can never see your channel keys or settings — the sandbox they run in has no path to them.
Already mapped and in the works — they'll appear in the catalog above as they're built and verified.
A compass rose from your GPS course, live fix quality, and the bearing and distance to a contact you choose — the field feature for finding your people.
The nodes near you on a live plot, sorted by distance with bearings — who's ahead on the trail, who's back at camp, updating as the mesh hears them.
Distance, elapsed time, average and top speed, and elevation gained and lost over your route — the trip log, as an app.
Sunrise, sunset, moon phase and rise/set, with alarms keyed to them — first light is a schedule out here.
Round-trip time to any node on the mesh, on one screen — the quickest health check there is.
