If only one GPIO Output line is used for antenna control, the combinations of the available output control
line states (the GPIO line in use and the module port) result in a subset of logical antenna settings which
can be used.
NOTE: The “missing” logical antenna settings are still usable when only one GPIO line is used for
antenna control and simply results in redundant logical antenna settings. For example, using
only GPIO 1, logical setting 4 and 8 both result in GPIO1=Low and M6e port J4 active.
