A user on Discord reported that packets were still not sent out via LoRa if MQTT uplink was enabled.
Looks like if you have a fast internet connection (or local MQTT server), a packet may be ACKed via MQTT during the small delay we add before transmitting via LoRa. To avoid canceling this packet (removing it from the LoRa Tx queue), I now check if we have less than
NUM_RETRANSMISSIONS - 1
left, which is the original setting:firmware/src/mesh/ReliableRouter.cpp
Line 144 in 54e52ae
Meaning we've not yet decremented it due to a failed transmission.
