// TxPowerTest_Transmitter for RFM69 transceiver radios
// This turns on the Transmitter (unmodulated carrier) continuously
// Should be used experimentally to measure power output and current of the transmitter
// Use on a frequency that does not interfere with any other known active frequencies
// Ensure settings match with the Receiver sketch if you use that to measure the RSSI
// Trasmitter is toggled with 't' (or tactile/SPST button that pulls A0 to GND)
// Transmitter power is controlled with +,- in steps, or <,> in dBm
