error -24 | RADIOLIB_ERR_LORA_HEADER_DAMAGED

Mane76 opened this issue · comments

Currently I am testing with a HopeRF 98W Lora Chip connected to a raspberry pi and using the software from IZ7BOJ.
By transmitting a beacon some Igates receive and decode the frame, others not.

I found out that my Igate TTGO LoRa32 running with v22.20.0 does receive the frame but not decode, in the log the header error -24 is mentioned.
By downgrading to version v22.14.0 it decodes with no problem.

Checking the changelog I found out that there was a shift to jgromes/RadioLib @ 5.1.2. Maybe this causes this incompatibility.

Update - due to discussion with IZ7BOJ he found out that his software did not transmit the CRC field.
The used RadioLib in the TTGO interprets this as Header Error, the previous used decoder lib seems to ignore this.
From my point of view no bug in the LoRa_APRS_iGate code.
