  • #3203 Companion: fem_radio_rx/txgain pref disabled until settable.

Fixes and enhancements for devices with FEM

The radio.fem.rxgain setting was not being persisted properly in v1.17.1, this is now fixed. Repeater admins will want to check that radio.fem.rxgain and radio.rxgain are configured to their liking after updating. Companion firmware currently has no way to configure these settings, so they they will use the default values only for now.

Heltec T096 Transmit issue fix

The Heltec T096 transmit issue was found to be an out of bounds read of the pin map due to PIN_SPI1_MISO being set to -1. It was causing the FEM’s Tx enable pin to stop working. This has been fixed and other NRF52 boards have had their unused pins corrected.
