Mixing LoRa and rtl_433

[alucryd]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've got an ESP board with 2 SX1278 chips, currently dedicated to LoRa and working great. I'd like to listen to LoRa devices on the first chip, and FSK devices on the second chip. However trying to build OMG with both LoRa and FSK fails, I guess it's not intended to be used that way?

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to use both LoRa and FSK on the same gateway, if possible.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative I can think of right now is building another gateway just for FSK.

I guess it's not intended to be used that way?

This is not a configuration that we are supporting. Also I'm not planning to add it as there was not a lot of ask for it. So your solution is indeed to use another board.

We are studying the add of BLE to RTL, or merging FSK and OOK binaries for example as they are more requested.
