   * Extend your program by a function that measures the RSSI prior to packet reception. A packet should only be received, if a valid RSSI from the sende is detected. What means a valid RSSI ?
   * Don't forger to disable preamble recognition at the receiver.
-  * for testing compare your computed values of the FREQ registers with SmartRF Studio.
+  * For testing, start your program.
-  * now, set RF to an arbitrary value within the supported frequency band of CC1200
+  * Use SmartRF Studio to transmit packets at the RF frequency (do not forget to change the symbol rate and preamble count in SmartRF Studio).
-  * Bring SmartRF Studio in “Packet TX” mode using the default frequency.
+  * Your program should recognize a valid RSSI and start receiving packets.
-  * start the transmitter. At the receiver, the BeagleBone Black, you should now receive **NO** packet.
+  * Now, change RF to a frequency the receiver is not using. Stopping and restarting the transmitter ist not necessary.
-  * Now, stop the transmitter and change the frequency to your selected frequency.
+  * At the receiver, the BeagleBone Black, you should now measure no valid RSSI and therefore no packet will be received.
-  * Now, you should be able to receive the packets.
+  * Now, change the frequency of SmartRF Studio back to your selected frequency.
+  * Now, you should be able to receive the packets again.
+===== Hints  =====
+  * To determine a valid RSSI caused by the sender. Measure the RSSI of the noise level in a training phase at the beginning of your program. Make sure, that the sender is not transmit anything.
