attic to lab problems:


I've been having problems sending PMs between two nodes here.. Attic is a Client Base in my attic. THe #5
Heltec is in my lab. The lab can send messages fine to the Attic. When the Attic tries to reply, it gets
- Waiting to be acknowledged (lasts ~2 sec)
- Acknowledged by another node (very brief)
- Encrypted Send Failed (lasts ~4 sec)
- Acknowledged

And the message is delivered. I was having this problem earlier and it was displaying the same status messages
on the Attic but the message was not being received in the lab. I tried deleting the nodes out of each other's
node list to get them to regenerate, didn't help. I then rebooted both. Then the message started getting to
the lab, but I am still getting the same wait/other-ack/failed/acked progrress messages.

Sends from the lab to the attic go instantly. Both nodes show a Direct connection. Both nodes have current
firmware. (they're both Heltec V3's) They're about 20 feet apart.

I have no other nodes in range. I'm assuming the acked-other is anther node in the area getting the
message, and failing to decode it due to having the wrong key. (the lab node got reset without a key backup)

Is there anything I can do to fix this?
