Hi!

Sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of RSSI values. So if I'm bringing 1 mote far away and it must increase it's transmission power to maximum, than after some distance I can't distinguish any more between distance changes, however the packets are well transmitting. It's sad that it becomes so early.
