      Hello,

      i try to get my GPy working with Vodafone NB-IoT working but i am stuck and i am unsure where is the problem.

      With help of robert-hh i got some steps forward but i did get it attached, and the documention do not help

      me.

      First a bit over my equipment

      1 x Vodafone NB-IoT datacard
      1 x 1nce - 1nce.de NB-IoT which is a Reseller for German Telekom
      1 x PyTrack 1.1
      1 x Expansion Board 3.1
      2 x GPy's one with limited Band support the other looks like this

      lte.send_at_cmd('AT!="RRC:showcaps"')

      == CAPS config =============================
        .Lock UE on SRV band    : false

      Maybe someone can see here the problem. This attempt above is with the Vodafone datacard.
