Hi Simon,

I am sorry. I don't like that.

You expand to two functions, to get the luxury of having an enable and a 
disable function.
On the other hand, you colapse from 3 function - one for each amp - to a 
single, taking the amp number as argument.

Although I don't see the big benefit, in programming theory this might 
be a better solution.
But the old implementation reflects the hardware and the datasheet, 
since the chip does not have a register to enable and a register to 
disable, taking the amp number, but the chip has three bits, saying on 
or off.
For someone, not reading the code as a "novel", but work with it, he for 
sure will read the datasheet. Then the new construction will be 
uncomfortable for him.

I tried to reflect the chip in every function I wrote. And the DEFINES 
in rf69.h are (almost) exactly named, as the you'll find the namings in 
the datasheet. That eases working with such a complex chip a lot.

Sorry,

Marcus
