 +
 +The nrf24L chips provides 126 Channels of 1MHz from 2400MHz to 2525MHz. The channel parameter shall be between 0 and 125 (if not the command will be ignored).
 +
 +The radio channel is set as soon as the setup transaction is completed which takes about 1ms. The new frequency is going to be used for the following transfered packets. Default value for the radio channel is 2.
 +
 +=== Set radio address ===

 +|          0x40 | SET_RADIO_ADDRESS (0x02) | Zero     | Zero   | 5       | Address |
 +
 +The packet sent by the radio contains a 5 bytes address. The same address must be configured in the receiver for the communication to work.
 +
 +The address must follow the requirement of the section 6.4.3.2 of the nRF24LU1 documentation:
 +
 +<code>
 +Addresses where the level shifts only one time (that is, 000FFFFFFF) can often be detected in
 +noise and can give a false detection, which may give a raised Packet-Error-Rate. Addresses
 +as a continuation of the preamble (hi-low toggling) raises the Packet-Error-Rate.
 +</code>
 +
 +The default address is 0xE7E7E7E7E7.
