Coverage Zones
BTS radio services cover four terrain zones across the San Diego backcountry.
Julian Corridor
Pine forests, 4,000–5,000ft. Dense canopy challenges offset by elevation advantage. Prime relay territory.
Borrego Basin
Open desert, 500–1,500ft. Exceptional LoRa range (10km+) with minimal obstructions.
Palomar / Warner Springs
High terrain, 3,000–6,000ft. Mountain shadow effects require strategic relay placement.
Ranchita / Chihuahua Valley
Mixed terrain, 4,000ft. BTS home base — densest mesh coverage and fastest installation response.
