I start the timer within the receive() event and *nothing* happens. No
packet is transmitted by the source. I'm pretty sure that the radio is on at
that time.

I posted this problem several weeks ago and still got no reply. That's why I
have to use the InitW2RTimer and it's started in the receivedSFD() event.

Anybody got the same experience?

Thanks,
Ittipong
