OH YEAH... I forgot...

If your devices have a blank, type-in field where the timezone is supposed to go (vs a dropdown), and you can't get anything to stick:

Try POSIX format.

So that's when I learned that there's cool #RTTTL composers and tools online that you can mess with

AND, as for my channels ๐Ÿ™ƒ, we gucci again because I basically just ran the same thing in reverse. Got the default LongRange and my private testing channel back.

These things are great for messing around with. ๐Ÿค“

So in the span of a few hours, I:

- managed to make the Pager not produce any notification sounds at all, by attempting to change the annoying-a$$ default ringtone to something nicer & also with a less long nag time. Then I cobbled together a custom RTTTL tone, which it seems to be happy with.
- completely obliterated my channel config :) by sharing channels from the Deck to the Pager via QR code. DESPITE #meshtastic saying "all existing channels" would be "PRESERVED"

sooo this weekend I finally flashed #Meshtastic onto the #pager ๐Ÿ™Œ

HOT TIP, when they say "check that your cable isn't power-only", THERE'S A REASON THEY SAY THAT. if it doesn't work, check your cable.. swap it out.. try a different one... Ask me how I know ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Anyway, once that was done, I was shocked to find that I was able to see 4-8 nodes online at any given point!

There's still SO much I don't know, but this is a fun little starter device IMHO.

Meshtastic in my area seems to be growing, which is neat. There's one or two Meshcore nodes around too.

There's occasional chatter, and right now most of it is about the mesh itself, but that's how these things start I suppose.

@wikiyu #discord is vile and I've lamented it's use for meshy topics also. But non-mesh comms about #mesh have some advantages

* better able to hold canned info likes FAQ and guides
* more easily searchable
* available to people before they access the mesh
