Hi Hugo, sorry for the late response and thank you for all that deep investigation in the pi433 driver! > According to the datasheet[0], the deviation should always be smaller > than 300kHz, and the following equation should be respected: > > (1) FDA + BRF/2 =< 500 kHz > > Why did you choose 500kHz as max for FDA, instead of 300kHz ? It looks like > a bug to me. My focus was always on OOK and ASK. PSK was only used for a few measurements in the laboratory, I engaged to check CE compliance. Most probably 500kHz was a value, that's common for PSK and I didn't pay any attention to the datasheet. So I think, you are right: This is a bug and could be revised. Never the less: While using it in the lab, the transmission was fine and the signals over air have been clean and fitted to the recommondations of the CE. > > Concerning the TODO, I can see two solutions currently: > > 1.

And if you update the value every time you want to use it to be sure, it's correct, there is no win in having the copy of the reg value. So this wouldn't be my favourite. > > I'd really prefer going for the first one, but I wanted to have your opinion > on this. Agree. > Thanks for your work !
