Receiving: Tools > Rx Log will show messages coming to you.
Transmitting: To see if you make it to the mesh, add the #test channel. Post a message and look for the number of repeaters. Also try posting !path and look for a pathbot to reply.

Unexplained Things

  • All contacts not in contacts list.
With a Heltec V4 on 1.14.0 and iOS app. I see 146 contacts in my Contacts list. When I go to Discover Contacts I see 270 contacts; the ones not in my contact list have an "add" button. In Settings > Contacts I have set to Add All and Overwrite Oldest. Why aren't all the contacts in my Contacts list?

Open Questions

  • Ping Warning
You know 2 repeaters or room servers with prefix <61>. Unfortunately we won't know which of them replies to this ping request. Dismiss/Confirm.
