To close the thread for now... my hypothesis was wrong.

I went back to
t1/CntToRfm/TOSBase, t2/BlinkToRadio/BaseStation,
on the same testbed and the range seems to be identical.

The main difference between my code and above (I think)
is capturing timestamp at sfd interrupt.
I need further investigation and experiments with my code.

Thanks to everyone for help.

Thanks

OK, so this is really weird.

2 questions:

1) Do the same 8-12 nodes receive the 2.x packet, or are those 8-12 a randomized subset of those that receive the 1.x packet. The former would suggest, as you noted, an RSSI issue, while the latter might suggest a state/flushing issue.

2) Can you log the RSSI of the received packets and see if they differ across 1.x and 2.x? There might be a channel power thing going on.

Another cause -- as David noted -- might be the MAC. Tutornet does have really rough 802.11 interference. But I agree that this seems less likely than some other causes.
