OK to change R109 to 22k? #64

Closed andrewgreenberg closed 9 months ago

I'd like to change R109 from 15k to 22k. This means the TOT voltage will rise from 0.43V to 0.60V. Is that OK? We'd get to save a whole resistor value, which would be nice.

I strongly vote no, since this will require a higher power level to qualify the transmission as a valid power level for the watchdog. This will require testing to confirm an acceptable power range. If only to simplify parts inventory, it's not worth it.
