:::warning These settings are for advanced users only. If you don't know what you are doing you could damage your radio or break local radio laws. Proceed with caution. :::

Overview

Most users should not need to change these settings. The default modem_config settings should work just fine.

Settings

Setting	Acceptable Values	Default
bandwidth	`10.4`, `15.6`, `20.8`, `31.25`, `41.7`, `62.5`, `125`, `250`, `500`	`125`
channel_num	Depends on Region	Region Channel Number Default
coding_rate	`5`, `6`, `7`, `8`	`5`
frequency_offset	real numbers	`0`
spread_factor	`7`, `8`, `9`, `10`, `11`, `12`	`7`
tx_power	`0`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5`, `6`, `7`, `8`, `9`, `10`, `11`, `12`, `13`, `14`, `15`, `16`, `17`, (dBm)	`0`

bandwidth

Total amount of spectrum used for the transmission.

Set Bandwidth

meshtastic --ch-set bandwidth 125 --ch-index 0

:::info Configuring this setting is not yet available for the selected platform. If this is incorrect please update the documentation for this page. :::

channel_num

An abstraction that maps to a specific center frequency used for transmission.

Set Channel Number

coding_rate

The amount of forward error correction applied to allow for us to automatically repair errors in the data transmission.

Set Coding Rate

meshtastic --ch-set coding_rate 8 --ch-index 0

:::info Configuring this setting is not yet available for the selected platform. If this is incorrect please update the documentation for this page. :::

frequency_offset

This parameter is for advanced users with advanced test equipment, we do not recommend most users use it. A frequency offset that is added to to the calculated band center frequency. Used to correct for crystal calibration errors.

Configure frequency_offset

spread_factor

LoRa is a spread spectrum technology. spread_factor is how much the signal is spread over the spectrum. SF8 = 2^8 or spread 256 times. SF12 = 2^12 or spread 4096 times.

Set Spread Factor

meshtastic --ch-set spread_factor 12 --ch-index 0

:::info Configuring this setting is not yet available for the selected platform. If this is incorrect please update the documentation for this page. :::

tx_power

Configured transmit power out of the LoRa radio, measured in dBM. Setting this to 0 will use the device default which is the max legal continuous power for your region.

:::caution Ensure that you are not exceeding your country's regulations.

Country regulation - antenna gain = tx_power max setting :::

Set TX Power

meshtastic --ch-set tx_power 0 --ch-index 0

meshtastic --ch-set tx_power 2 --ch-index 0

:::info Configuring this setting is not yet available for the selected platform. If this is incorrect please update the documentation for this page. :::
