Add Israel region (AS923-4). Rest of the code will be updated in the relevant repos.

Do you have a link to the regulations? Has there been an update? when we last looked only lorawan was allowed in Israel with a 1% duty cycle.

shpala commented 3 months ago

There's only the lorawan document I've found which only allows 1% duty cycle: https://resources.lora-alliance.org/technical-specifications/rp002-1-0-4-regional-parameters. On the site of the ministry of communication, the only document I've found that mentions LoRa is even less permissive. It only allows 1% duty cycle and 25mW on all channels, except 916.3Mhz where 100mW is allowed: https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/news/2112017/he/%D7%94%D7%95%D7%93%D7%A2%D7%94%20%D7%9C%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A8-%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A9%20%D7%91%D7%A4%D7%A1%20%D7%94%D7%AA%D7%93%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D%20915%20%D7%A2%D7%93%20917%20%D7%9E%D7%94%D7%A5.pdf I understand that it's not enough to be used in a mesh, but it might be enough for point-to-point communications.

@GUVWAF 1% is too low for meshtastic right?

GUVWAF commented 3 months ago

Realistically, yes 1% is too low for a decent mesh. You can maybe use it with 5 nodes with all periodic broadcast intervals set high, but that's about it.

Thank you for the fast responses. I'll remove all the PRs I've opened :)
