For the nRF24AP1 that is correct, have in mind the chip was the first ANT enabled chip about 14years old, so I strongly suggest to consider the nRF24AP2-8CH instead.

Thanks for the answer, I am aware of that. It is just that I need to measure power when it is completely RX mode, (for certification purposes). Further looking, I also found that nRf24AP1 also does not have background scanning, all I have left is normal search mode. That is the only thing closest to complete RX mode unless you have other suggestion?

That is not possible, please consider look at the nRF52832, this is a system on chip solution where you can also run your own application with ANT and/or BLE:

Alternatively you may consider the nRF24AP2-8CH if you want to use your own external MCU.
