850–930 MHz (US915/EU868) MHz SX1262 ESP32 37 dBm

The BQ Voyage Station G3 is a modular LoRa mesh base station that separates the RF front end from the MCU level. It consists of a motherboard with fast-transient DC-DC technology, an MCU daughterboard (BQESP32V1M) with ESP32-S3 (16 MB Flash, 8 MB PSRAM) and a 1.3-inch OLED, as well as the RF daughterboard BQ35LORA900V1M, which covers the 850–930 MHz band with up to 35 dBm PA. The maximum peak output power reaches up to 36.8 dBm (~4.7 W) for US915 and 37 dBm (~5 W) for EU868. Thanks to its excellent transmission and reception performance, the G3 station is frequently used to build backbone mesh networks in regional mesh communities.

This build is based on official MeshCore 1.15.0 dev branch (as of 25-May-2026 and additionally includes the following unmerged upstream PRs/changes:

Additional changes:
  • Flood adverts are disabled (flood.advert.interval set to 0) by default
  • :new: modified PR1810 to not block flood adverts but only PAYLOADTYPEGRPTXT and PAYLOADTYPEGRPDATA so that some limited flood advert distribution can be managed via PR2553 to support e.g. observer maps.
Changelog:
  • Based on dev v1.15.0 as of 25-May-2026
