/*
  LoRa Duplex communication with Spreading Factor

  Sends a message every half second, and polls continually
  for new incoming messages. Sets the LoRa radio's spreading factor.

  Spreading factor affects how far apart the radio's transmissions
  are, across the available bandwidth. Radios with different spreading
  factors will not receive each other's transmissions. This is one way you
  can filter out radios you want to ignore, without making an addressing scheme.

  Spreading factor affects reliability of transmission at high rates, however,
  so avoid a hugh spreading factor when you're sending continually.

  See the Semtech datasheet, http://www.semtech.com/images/datasheet/sx1276.pdf
  for more on Spreading Factor.
