It depends upon the radio model you are using. I have dug up the archives
and found a reply from Joe Palastre. The max length (radio buffering
capacity) for CC1000 is 256 bytes whilst it is equal to 128 for the CC2420.

You can also have a look at the radio chip data sheet.

Also, I think that you were talking about the "default" *not* "max" length.
You should follow Faisal's reply.

Hope this helps.
