Hi Michael,
You pointed the right problem.The assumption that packet length will be automatically get adjusted at base station was wrong.When full length messages were sent ,it really worked.*Thank you very very much*.One small question regarding RSSI values read and interpretation. I was trying to read counter value sent by transmitter, RSSI and crc values with message length set to 6 .As per AM.h file,strength and crc fields are 16 bit .To achieve this the following additions are made to previous code.

        gRxBufPoolTbl[gRxHeadIndex]->data[2] = Msg->strength;
       gRxBufPoolTbl[gRxHeadIndex]->data[3] = Msg->crc;
The output is shown below:

length counter RSSI crc FF FF 00 7D 06 02 00 39 42 00 00
FF FF 00 7D    06      03 00       2D        E2   00 00
FF FF 00 7D    06      04 00       2D        02   00 00
FF FF 00 7D    06      05 00       2E        A2   00 00

As seen, rssi and crc values are 8bit only.I thought crc is being over-written on remaining RSSI 8 bits, I made the following changes to code:
        gRxBufPoolTbl[gRxHeadIndex]->data[2] = Msg->strength;
       gRxBufPoolTbl[gRxHeadIndex]->data[4] = Msg->crc;
I have the corresponding output:

length counter RSSI CRC FF FF 00 7D 06 02 00 39 00 42 00 00
FF FF 00 7D    06      03 00       2D   00      E2   00    00
FF FF 00 7D    06      04 00       2D   00      02   00    00
FF FF 00 7D    06      05 00       2E    00     A2   00    00

Are these values correct ; what is their interpretation?

Thank you very much  for your time and patience.

Thanks once again,
Kishore
