The error is because of the version you noted. If you delete line 11 it I think you might be able to open it.

Is there a method in PCB to create a hole in the ground plane such as desired around the antenna. I am currently finishing a 2 layer pic/nrf24l01 transceiver board with similiar layout requirements.
I just limited where I drew the rectangle for the ground plane. On a similar note is there a way to get rid of pieces of floating copper in the ground plane? Oh and WRT the comment earlier about a top and bottom ground plane near the radio chip, can anyone else comment on that? I thought I'd heard something about grounding suggesting that isn't as beneficial but I cant' remember specifics. John - Yeah, I saw the Tmote - it's really cool and the msp430 <--> cc2420 area works fairly similarly. I would like to use the USB/in circuit programming aspects and probably will in a later version but right now I wanted to keep it simple to see if I can get a radio link. I have limited testing equipment so my buttons and LED's will be put to good use. Thanks, James
