For a G2, transmit power of 10 = 1 watt

For Repeaters: Be sure you don’t steal a prefix of someone near you… can use admin via your companion to set an unused prefix.

Are you connecting to the mesh?

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
