	Using Reticulum over amateur radio introduces legal complications in many jurisdictions, including Canada and the US, where regulatory bodies strictly prohibit encrypted transmissions on ham bands. While Reticulum's core architecture relies on per-packet encryption (using AES-256 and Curve25519) for multi-hop routing, you can utilize it legally on ham radio by operating over "plain destinations" or using specific unencrypted modes built into the network stack.

	Can I use Reticulum for amateur radio?
	Some countries still ban the use of encryption when operating under an amateur radio license. Reticulum offers several encryptionless modes, while still using cryptographic principles for station verification, link establishment, data integrity verification, acknowledgements and routing. It is therefore perfectly possible to include Reticulum in amateur radio use, even if your country bans encryption.

2026-06-23 20:22:15 From Michael Mei to Everyone:
	Running Reticulum over a 27MHz Citizens Band (CB) radio is technically possible but highly inefficient. CB channels offer long-range potential but have very low data throughput, high interference, and are legally limited to 4 Watts. Because Reticulum requires at least a half-duplex channel with 500 bps throughput, your data modems and interfaces must be precisely tuned to handle the extremely narrow bandwidth. [1, 2, 3, 4]
	
2026-06-23 20:38:11 From Michael Mei to Everyone:
	Reticulum supports packet radio through hardware TNCs (Terminal Node Controllers) like the OpenModem, KISS-compatible software modems, or dedicated data radios via serial, USB, or TCP interfaces. It handles encryption natively over VHF/UHF, HF, or LoRa.
	
2026-06-23 20:41:22 From Michael Mei to Everyone:
	Packet Radio Interface Options
	RNodes (LoRa-based): Standard hardware for off-grid Reticulum meshes. You can flash inexpensive development boards (like Heltec or Lilygo) with the RNode Firmware Utility to instantly turn them into long-range digital transceivers. [1, 2, 3]
	Hardware TNCs: Open-source hardware modems (e.g., OpenModem) connect directly to VHF/UHF radios, translating serial data into the KISS protocol for Reticulum. [1, 2]
	Software TNCs / Soundmodem: You can use virtual modems (like Dire Wolf) piped into Reticulum via a KISSInterface or SerialInterface using standard computer audio interfaces or RigBlaster setups. [1, 2, 3]
	Data Radios: Commercial or amateur data transceivers (such as UHF/VHF radios or VHF packet setups) that natively output KISS over serial, USB, or TCP. [1, 2, 3, 4]

	A plain destination is basically useless. It can't be routed, so it's really only for local broadcasts and while it does the job it's designed for very well, it's not what you're looking for.
	So, what I would do:
	Make an LXMF bot. Write up a script where when you send a message, it responds somehow. POPR or EchoBot (https://github.com/faragher/ReticulumExamples) are good places to start. Remember, you want to only send and receive LXM messages. You can use stock Sideband or NomadNet to test.
	Now make sure you can figure out how to send/receive plaintext control messages. For example, try to get it to send "I should be sending message 'Foo' to address 'Bar'" if you send it the message "SEND: Bar Foo". Remember to test for spaces and error handling.
	Then set it to display the destination and message on the server's console. Once you're there, you need to set up the JS8Call stuff. Write up a send routine and we're half done.
	From the JS8Call receive routine, receive the message and destination callsign. Look up the callsign, check for the identity, make the LXM message like in POPR, set the destination and L2Js address, and send it along via Reticulum. Have it send something like "Received from CALLSIGN: MESSAGE"
	You now have a 100% LXMF compatible radio bridge that works with all clients present and future. There are some implementation details (do you have a central database of identities over the Internet? What control codes do you support? Etc.) but in broad strokes you now have a system that works as-is and is human-readable.
	And if you want a simple system where people don't need to remember SEND: or the like, you can make a custom/modified app to add/remove these commands to be seamless for the user.
	There are other options, such as using fields, but that requires a little coordination with the LXMF standards, so it's likely not a good idea at this time.
	As an aside, JS8Call can't support bytes? It's quite inefficient, but can it at least support Base64? (A-Z,a-z,0-9,+,/,=)

	If I may, and not to derail the conversation from JS8Call, you could go the route of Fldigi. Fldigi does support KISS TCP/IP. If you want a weak signal mode like JS8Call, you could go the Olivia route within Fldigi. As you probably already know, Olivia does rival FT8 and JS8 as a weak signal mode. It's just an idea, but I don't know if it would be a good fit for the QDX though.
	As a sidenote, for the countries that allow encryption, it just crossed my mind that you should be able to directly connect fldigi to reticulum and access all the various modes that fldigi has to offer, including the weak signal modes. I played the audio through my speakers and it took a little over 2 minutes to announce using Olivia-16/500 and under 1 minute using Olivia-8/1K.
	For the non-ham radio operator, here are some links to better understand Olivia.

	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_MFSK
	Based on this website: http://www.w1hkj.com/modes/olivia.htm
	You could achieve up to a staggering 125 baud using Olivia!
	If you don't find this relevant, please feel free to ignore, but hope this helps!
