This is a really, really big subject. I hope you have an appreciation for that. It isn't something like "This GPIO line isn't toggling when it should be, what could be wrong?" ...there's a whole very large field behind what you're doing, and people study it for years to be able to wrangle it. That's why nobody has responded to your question. A good start for practical-almost-to-a-fault RF stuff is the ARRL Handbook, whether you have any interest in amateur radio or not. That said...if you describe what actual problem you're having, someone here might be able to assist, if people would tolerate the off-topicness of it. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
