Hello,
The SX1262 card doesn't seem to be communicating with the RasPi. When I open the Meshtastic Web App and connect to Device "raspberrypi". The screens "pops up". But it still thinks it is somewhere close to Austin. The Nodes from that area show, but with "1 Month since last" displayed.
There is a RED power light, on the SX1262. The green Xmit light flashes every two seconds or so.
As a side note, I have disabled the transmitter in Config-Device-Radio Settings Transmit Enabled = Off. But the green light continues to flash - even after rebooting the RasPi.
Finding no new Nodes doesn't really bother me since there may not be any close by right now. But the fact that the GPS isn't updating my position makes me suspect the radio isn't communicating with the RasPi.
I followed the suggestions in the new manual.
- Device-Device Settings: Role = Client.
- Position-GPS Mode: = Enabled
- Device-Lora Region: = US
What am I missing?
Thanks! :-)

I HAVE been able to get the Map in the Meshtastic App to update to a "different" position. Although it
isn't very accurate at all. I modified the following Meshtastic settings in the Web UI:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Channels
Channel 0 PRIMARY
Uplink Enabled TRUE
Downlink Enabled TRUE
Allow Pos Requests TRUE
Precise Location TRUE
Pos Precision 45m
<Press Submit>
MQTT
Enabled TRUE
Mesh Reporting Enabled
Approx Location 50m
<Press Disk Icon>
Network
Ethernet Config Enabled
Address MODE DHCP
<Press Disk Icon>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least now various other nodes around the country show up, although NO ONE answers a chat request. So this ISN'T Ham Radio by any stretch. Hams are friendly and social.

Never mind, after getting a second device up and running. All is well.
