Node with ESP8266 and RFM95W

I started with a generic Ali* NodeMCU ESP8266 but also tried a Wemos D1 mini with the same results.

My config.h looks sensible:

#define CFG_eu868 1
//#define CFG_us915 1
//#define CFG_sx1272_radio 1
#define CFG_sx1276_radio 1

Comparing the RFM95 and SX1276 I do notice there are RXEN/TXEN pins I haven't wired in. I hard wired them to switch to RX mode to wake the chip up, but to no avail.

All my wiring checks out OK, so may need to wire up the other bare SX1276 I have lying around.
