err...what handshake routine?

If you mean a message acknowledge sequence, the default behavior is none.
You can turn on ACKs in the radio control code, but this only gives
an indication at the sender that the receiver has gotten something
so you can implement a retry mechanism of some kind when it fails.

Search this list and my example code for "ACK" for a lot of noise.
