Change default transmit power and add comments #44

From VK5QI:

Might be worth changing the default SI4032 transmit power in the RS41ng config...

The default of 7 (20 dBm) results in considerably reduced battery life (~12 hours)

25mW is more than enough

Maybe add in a comment that if being used purely for APRS to increase the power, but for horus binary 25mW is more than enough.
