It didn't happen until post #10 (at one point I did say prior to that post that things were working and all I needed to do was figure out how to get the radio to transmit the readings.)
Also, if the working radio that is connected to the Uno doesn't work on the Mega why do you think a brand new one would? (I did say I had 2 and already tried swapping them.)
nevermind man, I'm just going to mark this resolved and do what I was going to do and If I run into problems I'll try posting again.
Thank for your time.
