Yes, which is why I said it wouldn’t be overly difficult, especially with access to military equipment. TDOA could fairly easily pinpoint a signal location. Meshtastic is generally chatty but you can do stuff like reduce transmissions, and limit the amount of hops your msgs can make etc. or even if you knew who you were sending to, make it directional so it’s harder to hear you. That said with the right tech, actively looking for nodes and listening to a chatty mesh radio it wouldn’t be hard.
