Bill,
By the time you read the RSSI, the reading will be pretty much
meaningless, since your read will take place long after the packet
data was received. That's why George was/is passing the RSSI in the
packet header in the inband code.

Thank you for your help, Eric. From what you told me above, I reached two conclusions: 1, reading RSSI will never happen on time, it is useless.2, the only way out is to use the inband code, am I right?
So, could you tell me whether the inband code is reliable, if it is, I will use that code immediately! Thank you!
Bill
