Just as a side-note:
There are 5 different versions of the PowerBeam with different
device IDs...

-- PowerBeam M5
-- ERP 26 dBm according to datasheet
'e3e5' = { -- PBE-M5-300
pa_gain = 4
ant_gain = 22
},
'e4e5' = { -- PBE-M5-400
pa_gain = 4
ant_gain = 25
},
'e6e5' = { -- PBE-M5-400 ISO!!
pa_gain = 4
ant_gain = 25
},
'e885' = { -- PBE-M5-620
pa_gain = 4
ant_gain = 29
},
-- Powerbeam M2 400?
-- ERP 28 dBm according to datasheet
'e6c2' = { -- PBE-M2-400
pa_gain = 6
ant_gain = 18 dBi
},
While I think there shouldn't be different DTS files for them, there is
a script missing that respects the antenna and external PA gain of these
devices.
Best,
Vincent
