I think the module CC2420RadioM send a payload (excluding headers and
footers) of TOSH_DATA_LENGTH, regardless of the particular size of your
message. the only way is to change the TOSH_DATA_LENGTH definition within
..\micaz\AM.h
pMsg->fcflo = CC2420_DEF_FCF_LO;
if (bAckEnable)
pMsg->fcfhi = CC2420_DEF_FCF_HI_ACK;
else
pMsg->fcfhi = CC2420_DEF_FCF_HI;
// destination PAN is broadcast
pMsg->destpan = TOS_BCAST_ADDR;
// adjust the destination address to be in the right byte order
pMsg->addr = toLSB16(pMsg->addr);
// adjust the data length to now include the full packet length
pMsg->length = pMsg->length + MSG_HEADER_SIZE + MSG_FOOTER_SIZE;
// keep the DSN increasing for ACK recognition
pMsg->dsn = ++currentDSN;
// FCS bytes generated by CC2420
txlength = pMsg->length - MSG_FOOTER_SIZE;
txbufptr = pMsg;
txbufptr is the pointer to the TOS_Msg to be transmitted, but within TOS_Msg
a uint8_t buffer of TOSH_DATA_LENGTH size is defined.

Take a look at the RadioTimeStamping interface. Some radio stacks
issue an event on the first data bit of a packet, right after the
preamble.
