Got It Updated And Connected To My Phone But It's The Only One In The Area. Need To Build A Mesh

I filed it down! I'm not an electronics guru so it took me a bit to realize that I just need to manipulate the environment in which the Heltec V3 is going to occupy inside the radio frame. I'm considering using hot glue to help secure the radio in place now that the shelf/lip is gone. We'll see once it's in place, but in the meantime, I need to get a replacement radio.

The military knew the piezoelectric qualities of quartz crystal back in the 1960’s 🤔

The final one (for now) is done, just need to Bluetooth it and test it out.

If you are going to use a GPS with your unit you will need to enable the GPS mode and then set the rx and tx pins that you have soldered to on the circuit board of the radio. Here they're set to 48 and 47, respectively.

Backs are printed!

As always, there's an adhesion issue, but at least I have it printing again. I started over after adding painter's masking tape which appears to be working...for now.

This is how I feel everytime I have to solder anything, which is still a relatively new experience for me with a somewhat frustrating learning curve.

The main element on my 1/4 wave, vertical antenna broke off, regardless of how secure I had made it with electrical tape and coax-seal, the solder just wasn't wanting to hold.
