[mcc324]

I haven't been able to find a way to turn off 'ham mode' from the cli. If i do get it set. how do you read it back to verify? meshtastic --version 2.6.3

Ham mode sets your longname to your callsign and turns off encryption. To undo this you just have to set an encryption key on your channels and optionally rename your node.

To disable Ham mode, use --set-owner and --set-owner-short to reset the owner names, and use --seturl or --ch-set commands to configure channels with the name and encryption you wish them to have. Or, use --factory-reset to reset to default settings.

To manage and verify the 'ham mode' setting in Meshtastic via the CLI, follow these steps:

1. Turn Off Ham Mode

Use the --set flag to disable ham mode:

meshtastic --set ham false

• Replace /dev/ttyUSB0 with your device port if needed (e.g., --port /dev/ttyUSB0).
• For remote devices, use --host <IP/HOSTNAME>.

2. Verify Ham Mode Status

Use the --get flag to check the current setting:

meshtastic --get ham

Output Example:

ham: false

3. View All Settings (Optional)

To see all device configurations (including ham):

meshtastic --getall

4. Check CLI Version

Ensure your CLI is up-to-date (as shown in your command):

meshtastic --version

Key Notes:

• Permissions: Use sudo if you encounter permission errors (e.g., sudo meshtastic --set ham false).
• Reboot: Some devices reboot automatically after changes; if not, power-cycle manually. Device Connection**: If settings aren’t applied, confirm your device is connected properly (check port/host).

This is just for individual settings and does not use the ham parameters packet
