I retest with my 3 children's birth dates as ID and it binds successfully. All channels are found to work too. I scan with my RF Explorer and see the channels hop between 2470 - 2478 Mhz depending on the ID. Let's see if Seby got the same results with his 7e.
I have raised some questions here and have not yet received any response. According to the RF Explorer reading, the transmit power has only 4 levels instead of 8 in the deviation menu. I cannot measure the absolute value but can only list the effective settings:
Power level 1: 150mW = 100mW
Power level 2: 30mW
Power level 3: 10mW = 3mW
Power level 4: 1mW = 0.3mW = 0.1mW

You can look for power settings at 'spi' folder:

The nrf24l01 has only 4 output power, basically it can output -18, -12, -6 or 0 dBm (0dBm = 1mW) but the extra PA does add ~+20 dBm (for the RFX2401C, not sure which PA/LNA the 4-in-1 is using).

Have a look at the nrf24l01.c source file (src/protocol/spi), 100uW, 300uW and 1mW are using the same power settings, same for 3mW & 10mW and 100mW & 150mW.

vlad-vy and goebish

Thanks for showing a newbie where to look for the answers. Could the transmit power menu be adapted to different protocol / transceivers?

It could be done, but that would add complexity and size to the code (which is a no no for the 7e) and one would have to set which PA is used for each installed RF chip.
Maybe it should only be notified in the user manual and wiki.
^^ I leave this task to someone that has a better english than me ;)

nrf24l01 protocols using 250 kbps bitrate:
ASSAN
BlueFly
CFlie
FQ777
HiSky (3ch ground protocol only)
FY326
iNAV
ne260
MJXq (E010)
mt99xx (i6S)
KN (optional)
SLT
SymaX (X5)
V202 (optional)

That doesn't mean that neither of those protocols will work with a 4-in-1, looks like bitrate is not the only factor ...

So you mean any fake Nrf24L01+ chip will not able to use Auto Ack?
