Looking for a device/kit that has great range and decent battery life. People usually suggest the LilyGo T-Beam (Supreme) and T-Echo, the WisBlock Meshtastic starter kit the Heltek V3.

Which one would be best for a beginner?

i've settled on the wisblock starter if im putting something together for a beginner. theres some nice already assembled kits available as well. as has been mentioned already here the antenna is where you find success. and the RAK4631 on the starter makes is easy to add a better external antenna for both lora and bluetooth. which means it can be placed at a high point and potentially still connected to throughout a house or appartment. its also a really nice platform to build off of if you get into it.
