&lt;p&gt;I can see this may be a problem yes, but unfortunately I am not aware of any other suggestion that try the different radio&amp;nbsp;features in the datasheet:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52833/radio.html"&gt;https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ps_nrf52833/radio.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe enabling shortcut between PHYEND event and START task can improve the situation? Since&amp;nbsp;PHYEND is generated when the last bit is sent on air (or in case of RX: The last bit on air is received), while END event is related to byte received/fetched from RAM. You may also try Fast mode in MODECNF0 in case that is better (40us instead of 150us).&lt;/p&gt;
