This would be the simple way if you're only interested if you ever receive an 'A'.
// Flash an LED if Acknowledgement is received from Receiver
if (LoraSerial.available())
{
char c = LoraSerial.read();
if(c == 'A')
{
ack = true;
digitalWrite(recLed, HIGH);
delay(250);
digitalWrite(recLed, LOW);
}
}
No use of the String class Although I do not think that it's the problem in this case. Also see the Serial Input Basics tutorial posted by @jremington.
You can save some RAM by using LoraSerial.println(F("AT+SEND=715,1,H"));
and LoraSerial.println(F("AT+SEND=715,1,L"));
