I ran into this article that uses MySensors and the nrf-doctor to correct issues with Pcb antennas on nRF24 modules.
I didn't try it, but seems to deserve a mention at this forum!

Hi, I had problem using the main branch mysensors/Raspberry, that because of the bit-field struct (header_s) in Sensor.h They will get packed in different order on the arduino compared to the RPi (at least with my compiler, gcc). In order to fix this I created the 1.4dev branch. It uses full bytes instead of the bit-fields, but you need (of cause) to compile both the sensors (arduino) and the gateway (RPi) using the 1.4dev branch.
We need to fix this in the main branch later on (and use the same files as in mysensors/Arduino/libraries/MySensors)
Thanks for the offer @TheoL ! I have moved on to a differenct project. Also, a lesson that I have learned many times, "If it works, don't fix it!"

@GLAB You can set the frequencies using the settings in MyConfig.h, which is in the MySensors folder. If you put any of the defines from MyConfig.h into your sketch, they will override the MyConfig.h setting for that sketch only.
If you are using the RF24 radio, there are different channels which correspond to a given frequency. The default is channel 76. There is a list of typical channels in MyConfig.h. If you want to change the channel for all the sketches, change it in MyConfig.h. If you want to change it just for the sketch, add a define to the sketch. For example:
#define MY_RF24_CHANNEL (84)
The problem with changing the channel in a sketch is that the gateway has to be on the same channel to receive from the node. So, normally it makes sense to change in MyConfig.h because you usually want the gateway and all the nodes on the same channel.
Other radio's like the RFM69 list the frequency instead of using a channel. They can be overridden in the sketch as well. You can find the defines that are needed in MyConfig.h
I hope the project won't be buried due to the fact that the protocol is the basis of nippy devices (https://nippysmart.com/) I also hope that the development of mysensors won't be directed in 2 directions - one commercial only for nippy - the other for all the rest, which could result in the two versions diverging so much that they will be incompatible and the second one will simply be buried.
For me almost all I need is in Master. For some nice to haves I have some custom libraries, like a message and a presentation queue. The only wish I have is dual led support.
