Yes, but the TEST pin of the RF230 needs to be connected to the microcontroller and it is not on the IRIS, so you cannot use that feature. There is another way I guess, to use the chip in synchronous mode, so you can transmit continuously, but that is not a tone (sine wave) but legit continuous transmission. For that you need to write another driver I guess.
