3 years ago I have experience similar issue, I have a RAK2245 and RAK2287 (SX1301 vs SX1301) and the first captures way more packets than the second. I am looking various forks from this repo to see if there is any improvement that I can implement locally

3 years ago Hi @vikasrohal , what packet forwarder are you using? could you print the output when the concentrator SX1302 starts? I am interested to see the rssi_offset in my case I suspect it could be part of the problem, I am using the basicstation as packet forwarder and it is not honoring the rssi_offset of -215.4 set in the station.conf, configurations may if you're using a different paket forwarder, but in some place of a you should define a rssi_offset based on your board's desing.
Since I believe it is more related the specific forwarder I am using I have opened an issue in that repository:

3 years ago @vikasrohal I found my issue to be in the node side, it was using a wrong preamble in the code, LoRaWAN establishes that it needs to be 8 Symbols for preamble and in my case the node had a code bug that reported more than that. It made the Gateway to discard that message. After I fixed the Preamble length in the node's code, I had no more packet drop.
Apparently the rssi_offset has nothing to do with this issue, but still looking forward the TheThingsStack to avoid pushing this for the LNS protocol and avoid hardware issue.

After multiple testing I have observed that there are some LoRa packets drops in gateway designed from sx1302 , in comparison with sx1301 for which I have also attached some screenshots. There are min of 5% packets drops in sx1302 . I hope that someone have faced similar issue can help me in some way. thanks for help in advance.
