Using Tbeam and Meshtastic 1.2.50.41 . Node does not receive messages.
$ meshtastic --sendtext hello --port COM5

Can someone point me in the right direction?

do you see errors when you just run: meshtastic ?

if that works, what about: meshtastic --info --debug ?

The meshtastic command gives the list of meshtastic commands, no errors. meshtastic --info --debug --port COM5 gives error messages .

I have USB-SERIAL CH340 installed on COM3 and USB-Enhanced-SERIAL CH9102 on COM5. Should I uninstall CH340? Also have CP210x on COM7 needed for my Icom 7300.

I concluded that my radio wasn’t working. I reheated the solder connections to the display and now I get the proper responses from CLI commands except when I send a message to nodes either from command line or cell phone the command line shows that the message was sent to all nodes but the only action on the radio is “serial connected” and “serial disconnected” - no message and the cell phone shows that the message was not received.
