Description

I think there are several ways lost and found mode could be improved:

  • Reduce power in lost and found mode
  • Enable precise location to avoid sending imprecise locations
  • Reduce battery usage (Could stop forwarding packets)
  • Allow position requests
  • Make the node emit RF in a way to make it easier to direction find by making it a unique signal. (Doesn’t have to be Lora)

My two cents:

  • SX1262 and most likely other chips support regular FSK modem so direction finding beacon could be triggered in the form of a relatively long FSK burst on a different frequency - while still meeting ISM regulations.
  • Add support for a buzzer in meshastic tracker so you can remotely trigger audible tone/alarm.

But at the beginning we should agree on what is really required from this mode because documentation is pretty vague - even how to enter this mode because this is not something that you probably should/want to set in advance in the config.
