I just setup a Heltec v3, I set the region, I can see 9 other nodes, but I cannot send or receive messages. I searched the internet to not find anything helpful.

Anyone have Ideas? I have none.

Solved: I went outside! Messages to channel 0 show acknowledged!

Does that mean there isn’t anyone on channel 0 and they on other channels?

Maybe. IDK. Try rebroadcasting and seeing who's out there. The app keeps nodes around for a while, even if they haven't been heard from.

How do I make sure I am setup to receive messages on the default channel? I figured that would be enabled by default.

Great. Thank you for your help! I’ll just wait I guess.

What kind of location are you/the node in? Are you inside or outside? Outside can make a huge difference, or even just being near a window helps.

Next to a window. In a big city, so I see dozens of nodes at this point, still the same waiting to be acknowledged.

Maybe I’ll go for a walk with it.
