[Tinyos-help] CC2420 getPower() question.

[davivale at nmsu.edu]

Jonathan,

Thats what I thought, just was not totally sure.  As a work around, I actually
set a field in the payload of the packet being transmitted in order for the
receiving node to have knowledge of the tx power of the incoming packet.  I just
did not think this was efficient considering the fact that there is a getPower()
function available.  Thanks for your help.
