Thanks for reply :)

But I have one more question,
Looking through CC2420 datasheet we can see:
"The length will be 8 bytes, RSSI will contain the average RSSI level during
receiving of the packet and FCS/corr contain information of FCS check result
and the correlation levels." Page 33
And on the other hand, we see:
"The first FCS byte is replaced by the 8-bit RSSI value. This RSSI value is
measured over the first 8 symbols following the SFD." Page 38

What actually RSSI we measured? Averaged over the first 8 symbols or over
the full packet?

Regards, Aleksandr.
