What do you mean "outside of a packet"?

Is any packet lost every time the TASKS_RSSISTART is triggered?

Hi,

Yes, the signal measurements in the radio will take place whenever TASKS_RSSISTART is triggered, either on a packet or outside of a packet.

You can also use a shortcut between ADDRESS event and RSSISTART using ADDRESS_RSSISTART short.

But if you are using Bluetooth Low energy in your application you need to use the Softdevice, then you can use softdevice calls sd_ble_gap_rssi_start() and sd_ble_gap_rssi_get() to get the the received signal strength for the last connection event.

Best regards,
