Models
The T-Echo comes in two variants. One features a LoRa module labeled with 433/470, while the other is labeled with 868/915. While these labels indicate the approximate frequency ranges they operate on, the exact supported ranges are not listed.
There is also an upgraded model, known as the T-Echo Plus, which features a larger 2400 mAh battery. The T-Echo Plus comes in both frequency variants.
Firmware
The T-Echo is supported by the official RNode firmware as of version 1.81.cite-ref-1[1] It is also supported by the microReticulum firmware as of version 1.86.4.cite-ref-2[2]
Bootloader
The original bootloader that comes flashed to the T-Echo works fine for most use cases. However, to enable OTA firmware updates, the OTAFIX bootloader can be flashed to the device instead. This allows for the device's firmware to be updated over Bluetooth.
