Support for FSK modulation

As I finally got FSK going, I will provide an update here:

  • TTN/S does not setup any channels for DR6 / DR7.
  • Forcing a device to send an uplink on the DR6 channel completely works (even though Adrian mentioned this should be dropped), but for more info see this discussion.
  • Forcing a device to send an uplink on the DR7 = FSK channel does not really work; it is received by the gateway but silently dropped before it makes its way to the LNS / device console.

Now I am interested: do others think that there should be an option to enable FSK? For example, as in the linked discussion, I have this scenario:

  • School has over 100 devices sending at very fast interval (private LNS, no FUP) - these are sensors required by law to be monitored, so these will not be modified.
  • I have some extra sensor boxes or student projects in school, suffering a respectable packet loss due to the crowded airspace from school’s sensors. Not a problem w.r.t. the lost data, but annoying for students when they’re actively using them & learning.

Would it be a good idea to move my boxes / student projects to the FSK channel, if it were a possibility?
