Using NRF52840 RADIO with basic/custom protocol without ESB

Hello,

I have adapted some of the ESB proprietary Protocol from the NRF SDK into my own project without installing the SDK directly; however, complete integration seems out of reach due to Arduino's overlapping functionality. 

With that being said, my goal is to develop a simple dedicated Transmitter and Receiver pair on two separate NRF52840s. No acknowledgements are needed due to time constraints. Below are the current steps I have taken to initialize the RADIO in the transmitter and receiver, respectively. Currently, the receiver cannot seem to capture any packets despite the two boards being <20cm. 

I was able to verify that each respective board is in TX (during packet transmission) and RX RADIO states when expected. I was wondering if there are any issues with my current initialization as the ADDRESS event never triggers on the receiver. I also have surrounded each initialization with "assert" to fall in line with the NRF52840 RADIO specifications.

Transmitter Initialization:

PCNF0 Register:

LFLEN 8
S0LEN 0
S1LEN 0
S1INC 0
CILEN 0
PLEN 2
CRCINC 0
TERMLEN 0

PCNF1 Register:

MAXLEN 255
STATLEN 0
BALEN 4
ENDIAN 0
WHITEEN 1

BASE0 = 0xABCDDBF5

PREFIX0.AP0 = 0xEF

TXADDRESS = 0x00

FREQUENCY = 0x00

CRCCNF:

LEN 2
SKIPADDR 0

CRCPOLY = 0xd175

Receiver Initialization:

PCNF0 Register:

LFLEN 8
S0LEN 0
S1LEN 0
S1INC 0
CILEN 0
PLEN 2
CRCINC 0
TERMLEN 0

PCNF1 Register:

MAXLEN 255
STATLEN 0
BALEN 4
ENDIAN 0
WHITEEN 1

BASE0 = 0xABCDDBF5

PREFIX0.AP0 = 0xEF

RXADDRESSES = 0x01

FREQUENCY = 0x00

CRCCNF:

LEN 2
SKIPADDR 0

CRCPOLY = 0xd175
