I finally received my SX1262 from Waveshare and was able to build a Meshtastic image on a 32GB SD card, on an 8GB Pi5 (on my dev workbench). This image is based on the current version (as of 11/01/24) of Bookworm (with the Labwc Wayfire compositor selected). I have since copied this image to a 1TB NVMe drive - it's a "brisk" little Pi to say the least.
Works like a champ! Plus I was able to establish comms on channel 0 with my NOMAD device. I was a bit concerned about my NOMAD's radio. Since upon unpacking and in my excitement, I switch NOMAD on for a few seconds w/o the antenna attached. :-o

GUYS you really need to attach an easy to remove sticker on the front of NOMAD prior to shipment; warning to *NOT* switch on before attaching the antenna.
One thing I noticed, although every message sent was received by the opposite radio. Sometimes the msg header in the senders Web UI was never marked with a "Check Mark". Which I presume is meant to be an acknowledgement of receipt by another radio? Or perhaps I am assuming incorrectly about this?
