I just setup a Heltec v3, I set the region, I can see 9 other nodes, but I cannot send or receive messages. I searched the internet to not find anything helpful.
Anyone have Ideas? I have none.
Solved: I went outside! Messages to channel 0 show acknowledged!
You seeing another node means you received at least one packet from it. It doesn’t mean it’ll hear your packets when you’re sending them.
I suggest buying two nodes just to play with sending back and forth so you can get a feel for what it looks like when it works. I’m still looking to put an antenna on my roof, but even without it, I can detect nodes miles away, but I rarely make any real contact.
Good to know, thank you!
