Hi David, if a STXON command strobe is issued, during the receiption of a packet I'm sure the radio will transmit it. If the received bytes stay into the RXFIFO queue (is it true?) and sometime later the radio receives another packet, that would overflow, since the expected number of bytes was the previous one. What happens in that case? Does the radio flushes the RXFIFO queue?
