Radio equipment needs certification where you live (FCC, CE, UKCA, ISED, Anatel). Some devices are uncertified or restricted in Brazil. Buyers are responsible for their local law.

Bring along: Confirm the current design and batch before ordering.
Keep in mind: The current P4/C5 design replaces the campaign prototype.

Research notes

Checked kode.diy/product/kode-dot (no hardware links) and every repo under the kodediy GitHub org: 'Miscellaneous' contains only an empty generic 'kode_KiCad_Template' scaffold (not actual Kode Dot files); 'docs' is an unfilled Mintlify starter template; KodeDot_Meshtastic holds only PlatformIO board/variant definitions (pins_arduino.h etc.), listed here for reference only though it is firmware-adjacent. No product-specific schematic/PCB/BOM found; product is still preorder.
