There is never any mention of bitrate when talking about LoRa. It's infuriating from someone on the outside.

From what I gather, the map says a "SF:12" which means a spread factor of 12, at a bandwidth of 125khz. With a code rate of '1' according to https://www.rfwireless-world.com/calculators/LoRa-Data-Rate-...

this means about 292 bits-per-second transmission rate for the packet. But I'm unsure if this is correct.

How hard would it have been to put that in the post? I feel like there is some conspiracy to never talk about bitrates/transfer rates in the LoRa world. Like, ever.

Just say it. It helps people understand what this tech is for.
