@@blueskies_solutions Thanks. I especially am confused by the RSSI indicator as I have great RSSI values for stations that I can obviously not hit directly by RF (over 60 miles away and my node is indoors with a short antenna). Also the app says I can see 50+ nodes, but when I try to send a message I get no acknowledgement. So which of the 50 nodes is actually closest to me and providing me the connection to the larger community? Many of the nodes do not have GPS, but there must be a routing list that I am receiving OTA would show this. See my confusion? Thanks.

Thank you for the informative video. One comment, while your video has a lot of useful information, it is very difficult to understand your audio. A different microphone may help. Thanks!

[@blueskies_solutions]

Thank you for your feedback. Has since changed my microphone to a better one :)

My Heltec screen shows “Unpowered”. Sometimes one line, sometimes two lines both saying “Unpowered”. This happens when the node has power (of course, since the display is active). What does “Unpowered” mean?

[@blueskies_solutions]

Which firmware version are you using and which Heltec model you are using?
