I have a few questions.
- Are PA4 and PA5 used to control RF_SW?
- Is PA4=LOW and PA5=HIGH in receive mode?
- When in transmit mode, iss PA4=HIGH and PA5=LOW?
- What is the model number of the RF_SW used?
I don’t know if this will be helpful, but the following link discusses reception sensitivity and RF_SW.
I experimented with LoRa-E5 mini and it should be able to communicate over 20km in line of sight with a λ/2 antenna.
