# xmpl_trx_txaret.c - Transmitting Frames with TX_ARET

Application Description

The example shows, how a frame is transmitted in TX_ARET mode. Within this mode, CCA is done automatically. Additionally the example illustrates, how the fram data can be directly manipulated in the SRAM (see IRQ service routine).
