    I would suggest comment out the TX power setting and let the ATC control it. If it still doesn't work, try:

    #define MY_RFM69_ATC_MODE_DISABLED
    #define MY_RFM69_TX_POWER_DBM 20
    

    Edit:
    Maybe also try

    #define MY_DEBUG_VERBOSE_RFM69
    

    and see if that tells you anything more.

        @gohan If you are using AutoAcks and you have a combination of True Nordic based Modules and nRF24L01P clones you may have a issue. Is there a way to not use acknowledgements and see if you can communicate properly between the modules?

            I think i solved the mistery... the alixpress seller sent me RFM69W modules instead of HW... I just noticed the chips are the same and in fact they work if I compile the node without the #define MY_IS_RFM69HW. I don't even know if I can get a partial refund since quite some time has passed

            PS :rage: :rage: :zap: :zap:

                    @sundberg84 the bad thing is that I was recommended to use that seller as a good one.

                          I guess this isnt in question anymore but I just wanted to comfirm I have tested node and it works with HW version as well. I use the code above and just added

                          #define MY_IS_RFM69HW  // Mandatory if you radio module is the high power version (RFM69HW and RFM69HCW), Comment it if it's not the case
