Oh, I forgot to say, all those settings are case sensitive, make sure the things match what I’ve shown.
Did anyone ever copy any tx from @jastallings last night?
I think he is “uptown” or “tasty”, not quite sure. timing wise it lines up.
Yes Both

I never got any of your messages. I wonder why yNos can see you, but I can’t. Similarly, I can talk with Todd, but I don’t see yNos.
Which channels have you setup?
I thought I only had the primary. After moving one radio onto the network and having accessed it via the android client, I found I have two.
I’m trying now to get the other radio on the network, but the documentation seems more focussed on site design than effective use of meshtastic. I can find nowhere that a clear example is given of the use of --set, nor a clear listing of the properties that can be set with the command in this fashion. The capitalized section headings with their spaces are sufficiently human readable, but there is nothing suitable for copy and paste, and missing from the documentation along with example useages is any sort of explication as to the effects of setting these properties or otherwise why you might want to set a value on those properties.
Honestly, all in all, it is documentation written by people who already know how to use the radios, and they make a lot of assumptions about people who dont.
I had a reference from some third party site that I can no longer find, and the linux laptop with all the command history from when I previously used the cli is unavailabe to me until my house rewiring is complete.
UPDATE:
I quit trying to use the eyecandy doc and got to hacking; I should have started there. I have the relay rig configured and on the network, I just need to fish out the ip address from the router. Shouldn’t be too hard, I’m the only one using the dhcp mediated network right now.
I was able to get both radios configured for wifi while I had them on the cable to the raspi4 I’m using. Having put the wireless stick up the tree, I can only guess there is too much house between it and the router as it is no longer getting an IP address and shows offline in the app. I know that it was running when I put it up the tree, so I am assuming it’s up there doing what I require of it, that is to say, retransmitting local packets only.
UPDATE:
While I was making this post, it reappeared in the app.
Happy happy joy joy happy happy joy
…and by the time I finished that update, it was gone again and hasn’t reappeared in the app.
Just stood up a solar outdoor node in Pearland, but I didn’t use the default “LongFast” channel as primary. Since the frequency slot is based on a hash of that, I’m probably not on the same frequency as the rest of y’all, but if someone is close enough to check if they see node “X891” that would be much appreciated. Or if you happen to know what LoRA frequency slot everyone else is on, I can try setting that on my end as well.

Made a Houston group on the meshtastic discord so we can organize and help each other better.

Just got my t-echo. I’m currently in Humble hope to pick up you nodes and start seeing messages from you guys if I ever get this thing set up
Just joined the discord server (figured it out.) I just picked up a t-deck and a t-beam to play with. Printing out cases for both (if the power blips from the hurricane would subside.) I’m out past Brookshire, off I-10.
Hey guys, I’m new to the Houston Mesh. I would like some help confirming my msgs are getting through the primary channel. I’m getting the acknowledgment on my msgs but i would like to see an incoming message to confirm all is good. If you see a msg from E5C, please respond, it would be greatly appreciated.
Join the Discord channel linked above… we’re active there. I don’t think I’ve seen that node ID yet but I’ll also say that I haven’t seen any messages from anyone after about 8:30am today (7/24) on MQTT - my radios are talking just fine though.
