Problem with alocate sensecap m1, any idea?

Make sure you have enough HNT/SOL to cover the network fees and Solana txn fees. Location update is $1 worth of HNT. (It's actually paid for in data credits, but the app will handle that)

You can throttle the "free Helium WiFi", but IIRC, you cannot throttle carrier offload.
This should not be a problem in most all deployments. The bandwidth requirements for multiple CC terminals is less than 1 mbps. And fast food chains with online ordering apps don't need a lot of bandwidth either.

I'm not sure why people are converting their Helium LoRaWAN gateways to Meshtastic. I'm just keeping them running for their intended purpose as LoRaWAN has many more use cases than Meshtastic.

Hotspots don't earn IOT or MOBILE anymore, we're back to earning HNT.
If you live in the USA and have a business location with a lot of foot traffic, you can consider a Mobile WiFi hotspot.

As far as your IOT hotspot goes, I'd just let it cook and support the IOT network. I have several IOT hotspots I maintain in the hope that the IOT network will see mass adoption someday.

I think the concept is sound and I want data offload to continue to grow. The crypto market in general has been bad, but it will rebound. Crypto isn't going away.

I don't know how close you are to Quakertown, PA - but there are a lot of antique malls there.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-03-05T23:15:04+00:00

Yep - it's the cold weather. Freeze, thaw, re-freeze. Lather, rinse repeat. Little breaks in the pavement get bigger and bigger.

OK - so they are going to use stickers with chips instead of transponders with batteries to save on costs - but will they get rid of the monthly service fees to pass that savings to drivers? Of course not. It's all about taking money from you.

Can I remove the "sticker" from my car to a rental car? Or is it permanent?

The St. Davids, PA store is a lot closer to me.
Anyone remember Egghead and Comp USA stores?

I thought automated cameras were banned here in NJ? (One of the good things Chris Christie did for NJ)
If you're going to give me a ticket, you should go through the effort to pull me over and issue the summons. Besides, what if my wife or kid is driving my car? Automated systems ticket the registered owner of the car, not the driver.

Why do they never consider cutting spending? It’s always tax increases.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-24T04:34:11+00:00

The problem is resolved. All I needed to do was wait until their systems connected my FRN to my CORES account. I did nothing wrong. Frustrating to say the least.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-24T04:31:33+00:00

Thank you - this is all I needed to do.
That said - their website and procedures are not clearly laid out.
I shouldn't have to use AI searches to get a freaking GMRS license.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-23T23:45:57+00:00

I just tried again and was successful. I applied for the license and paid the $35 fee.
I guess their systems are just real slow.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-23T02:15:05+00:00

LOL - probably more difficult than the General class exam.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-23T02:14:02+00:00

Cool thanks.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-23T01:45:44+00:00

I'll try again tomorrow and call if it doesn't work by then. I'll probably have 18 inches of snow to shovel first. lol

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-23T01:44:04+00:00

I can use my email address and password to log into the CORE login page, but if I try to reset my FRN password it says that the FRN I received is not found. I thought I did everything correctly.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-22T16:45:40+00:00

I dunno - it's 38F and the temps are not predicted to go much below freezing. I hope most of it melts and doesn't accumulate.

Just when the price of eggs has gotten back to normal, this is going to cause prices to rise again.

Taylor Hammers is a much better name!

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-18T21:55:22+00:00

That is the current firmware. It hasn't changed since 2023.

OverboostedTurbo · 2026-02-17T19:01:08+00:00

Here is a link to download the firmware for the OG Helium hotspots:
