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 being able to “see” other nodes doesn’t mean messages can reach them. Nor does it mean they’re set up to ACK any messages.

        Maybe. IDK. Try rebroadcasting and seeing who’s out there. The app keeps nodes around for a while, even if they haven’t been heard from.

          How do I make sure I am setup to receive messages on the default channel? I figured that would be enabled by default.

                What kind of location are you/the node in? Are you inside or outside? Outside can make a huge difference, or even just being near a window helps.

                  Next to a window. In a big city, so I see dozens of nodes at this point, still the same waiting to be acknowledged.

                  Maybe I’ll go for a walk with it.
