What is the default retry value for RM1xx confirmed packets?

By default, when using confirmed packets, the RM1xx will attempt to send the packet 8 times or until it receives an acknowledgement from the network. This value can be changed using the smartbasic LoRaMac option LORAMAC_OPT_MAX_RETRIES. You may want to lower this value if your data is time critical as it may be some time after the original attempt before the 8th and final attempt is made. This is especially true with the RM186 which will be under duty cycle restrictions.
