Information about padlocks

[F8GHE]

The function of the padlock remains unclear to me. We are a small group of 3 users with firmware versions higher than 2.5.6 and we randomly have orange open or green closed padlocks.

We also have difficulty with direct messages.

Where can I find explanations on this subject?

Thanks vert much. Is there a way to switch the padlock from closed to opened or is it automatic ? Le jeu. 14 nov. 2024 à 07:14, Garth Vander Houwen ***@***.***> a écrit :

Automatic based on a successful key exchange between the devices

If it's your first time using firmware above 2.5 you may need to reset your nodeDB to refresh the keys.

Does this mean that if our padlocks are intermittently open in orange, the key transfer is not good? And can you confirm that DMs only go through the primary channel? 73s Christian F8GHE Le jeu. 14 nov. 2024 à 10:57, Tom Fifield ***@***.***> a écrit :

What does an orange closed padlock like this one means ?  I observe this orange closed padlock when I try to send a DM ! And when I try to send the DM, a cloud crossed is immediatly returned ! Not very easy to understand.  73s Christian F8GHE Le jeu. 14 nov. 2024 à 13:56, Christian Barthod ***@***.***> a écrit :

I have just noticed that with version 2.5.x, the node padlock is "orange open" when the "Licensed HamRadio bit" is set.
In this case the DMs go through Channel 0, which seems logical !
