+#### View or change the LoRa FEM receive-path gain state on supported boards
+**Usage:**
+- `get radio.fem.rxgain`
+- `set radio.fem.rxgain <state>`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `state`: `on`|`off`
+
+**Notes:**
+- This controls the external LoRa FEM receive-path LNA where the board supports it.
+- This is separate from `radio.rxgain`, which controls the radio chip receive gain mode.
