I've set up a companion and a repeater - both Heltec V3s - and they seem to be working OK.

They are 2 of the 4 on the north Kent coast in the photo.

Messages get sent and I get a 1 repeater notification (obviously, me) but there are no responses from anybody else at all.

I'm showing 297 contacts on the Meshcore app.

I also see what appears to be one half of a conversation - a response to a message but don't see the original message itself. Is this normal?

How can you tell if your message has been received? - sorry if this is a bit naive but I'm used to ham radio where we actually talk to each other :o)
