However, this could lead to confusion since "channels" was being used to refer to two distinct concepts. To clarify the distinction, the decision was made to change "LoRa Channel Number" to "LoRa Frequency Slot". ### Radio Config: Channels -These configure "message groups" and include your PRIMARY and SECONDARY channels.
