Same here--paucity of nodes...but someone has to start...
I have one node I leave up in a front window (RAK box without a screen--battery will last about a week (have to say I'm impressed by teh RAK's low power consumption).
Have a second RAK node with a screen, that is kind of my "receive and monitor" node--and then have the T-Deck (that is my travel node).
T-Deck is still kind of flaky, even with Meshtastic firmware--I can't figure out what nmakes it "sleep" (or not sleep). Sometimes it turns off, and the only way to wake it is with the mouse button, and at other times it never goes to sleep (and chews up the battery in about a day). Hoping they'll solve that at some point.
There's a T-Deck 'Pro' in the works that will have e-paper display and wireless charging (the T-Deck is hard to see in bright sun)--so that'll probably be on order once they're available...
Would like to see the devs work on the power settting a bit more, but I think they're probably concentrating on a full UI re-write for the T-Deck with the larger touchscreen--we'll see...fun times to be involved with #meshtastic
