[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;In such case due to the time it will take to read out the received packet and write the ACK packet, it will not be attached to the current packet, but the transmitter will need to send a second packet to fetch the ACK packet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]If not, can I do this by manually sending the ACK packet+data?&amp;nbsp;[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;You can disable the hardware ACK, and for instance do this manually in software by re-configure the radio from PTX to PRX etc between each transmission, however that will cause more work for the MCU.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
