[Tinyos-help] Query on CC2420PacketC interface

[Muhammad Azhar]

Hi all,

   I'd like to use CC2420PacketC interface, specifically, the setPower() 
method to set the power of the message to be sent to a higher value.  The 
Makefile for my application changes the default power to a value of 3.  I 
have 2 questions:

1)  Which interface should I wire the CC2420PacketC interface to?

2)  Assuming I send the packet at the maximum value (31), will this message 
affect the battery life of the other motes receiving it, i.e. does sending a 
message at a higher power cause its recipients to use up more power as well?

   Thanks in advance for your help.
