Setting LMIC.txpow does not effect the actualt TX power #881

While debugging I noticed that even though the LMIC.txpow was set to 27, the REG_PA_CONFIG register contained value 0x80. When changing LMIC.txpow to another value, REG_PA_CONFIG stayed the same. Also found no code that actually writes LMIC.txpow to REG_PA_CONFIG. Is this a bug or is there another way of setting the TX power.

You have to build your own factory firmware, go to Espressif, somewhere on there site you can build the factory firmware yourself including a higher power TX output
