The main limit to system size (aside from the 2byte ID field) is
the number of messages you want to transmit/sec. There's only
so much bandwidth, I've measured about 25 msg/sec with mica2.
I believe the max mica2 transmission with the standard antenna is
in the <100m range, it all depends on conditions. Better antennas
can increase the range.
I think the issue with xlisten is that it is an example program
for "sniffing" messages, but it doesn't really know what to do
with them beyond dumping to the screen. Sorry but I don't know
about the options.

Hi All,
Currently I am running xlisten with one base node and 3 sensor nodes
(mica2 315mhz). What will be the maximum number of nodes I can use with
xlisten?
What is the maximum transmitting distance of a node to the base station?
Does the scalibility thingy work with xlisten, cause in the getting
started guide, it is stated that xlisten is not a sensor network
program, but in the xlisten.c comments, it is stated that packets can be
parsed by using the -w option... what does this mean?
Could someone please help me?
Thanks.
Regards,
S.Sundaresh.
