Hey sparky,
I got my TRW-24Gs a while back and finally got a chance to hook them up to a couple AVRs. They work fine I can transmit data and receive data in shockburst mode.
I noticed though that every now and then my receiver gets some data I didnt send. No big deal, I figured its gotta happen once in a while I just turned up the CRC to 16 bits. But I still found during any single minute I get 2 or 3 transmitions I didnt send. So I set one up to receive all the time with no CRC. Wow, the thing always is receiving data. As fast as I can pull it from the buffer, its got another packet. I figured, maybe the channel is crowded, phones, microwaves, blah, blah. So I checked the other channels. Every channel is the same, constant data reception.
I also tested direct mode and found all channels saturated as well.
My question is this, is this normal, or am I just missing something here? The devices work fine, like I said before, I got them communicating and changed settings and what not. I was just a little concerned about this other data that pops up every now and then because the CRC happens to check.
I can solve the problem easy enough with some packet formatting and special characters. But, I was hoping that maybe I am just doing something stupid.
What are your experiences with this?
Thanks,
Vern
