I am currently using the nRF24L01P in an application where I am using the RPD feature to determine whether a 2MHz RF channel is "available". For example, if a wifi network is consuming channels 0-40 then I can see this because the RPD feature will show significant RF energy on these channels. Using this information I know that these channels are unavailable for my network.
We are adding features and porting the design to nRF52. I do not see this RPD feature available in nRF52 (nor is it available in nRF51). Both nRF51 and nRF52 radios have an RSSI indication, and nRF52 also has an Energy Detect (ED) feature but it is only described under the section pertaining to 802.15.4.
Can the nRF52 ED or RSSI features be used to detect any RF energy on a given RF channel when the radio is configured for the proprietary Nordic 2Mbit modulation?
