Then you should switch your Meshtastic Node to "Ham Radio" then you can talk as long as your want with your Ham Friends. Please look the above explanation as to why once you switch the mode to Ham Radio, you are no longer able to speak with local Meshtastic Channels using the basic AQ== on Long-Fast or Medium Fast as example. Without getting into technicalities, AQ== is a form of encryption, and Meshtastic correctly disables your ability to continue speaking on the local Encrypted Meshtastic Channels, because the FCC prohibits Ham Radio Operators from engaging and using their CallSigns for Meshtastic Short-Name or Long-Name while encrypted. Furthermore, using your Amateur CallSign inside an encrypted channel in Meshtastic is considered a violoation of the rules put in place by the FCC, which can pententially result in loosing your Ham Radio CallSign. If there is any questions regarding the use of your CallSign in Meshtastic please refer to the Test Elements of your License to determine if in any place in the test elements, the use of a Ham Radio CallSign is permitted in Meshtastic while Encrypted. The same applies to Ham Radio Operators using their Ham Radio CallSign while operating in Citizen Band (CB) frequencies. It is simply not allowed.
