 +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 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.
