Hello community,
I need a second pair of eyes to check if my assumptions are correct.
Few of my devices seem to miss JoinAccepts multiple times and sometimes I don’t see Joins at all even though I should (according to the device spec/description).
Network Server channel configuration

Gateway channel configuration
In gateway profile I use values 0, 1, 2 (868.1, 868.3, 868.5), eg. without the extra.
As far as I know I don’t have end devices that can utilize the FSK channel.
I left the DR6 868.3 (SF7@250kHz) channel enabled even though this is not covered in the 1.0.2/1.0.3 regional params (default EU frequencies do only DR 0-5) and I am not sure if by adding that channel to the extra configuration I can tell chirpstack to use it/send it to devices as valid extra.
Though extra channels on gateway are not that much of a problem (afaik).
I would be very grateful if anyone could check if these configurations and assumptions are correct.
