This hard-headedness led me to the conclusion that the timing algorithm I created to read the radio signal was not quite ready. Since I ordered every type of CC1101 transceiver I could get my hands on, I can report that every one of the CC1101 transceivers I bought work very well. I must have had an extra thumb or two when I built the original timing algorithm. This made it drop part of the hardware sync and subsequently not communicate reliably.

So, when looking for a CC1101 Transceiver get one that doesn't have to be slow-boated from some far off land although I assume they all begin life there anyway. For the final 3 production prototypes that I built I preferred the E07-M110D-SMA version over all the others. While you will have a hard time finding it listed that way it is the blue one with the duck antenna or spring antenna.

### Assembling the Hardware ### Assembling the Hardware
Your first step is to connect your transceiver to your ESP32. I did this with the use of some female to female dupont connectors and ran it on the bench for a while. I didn't even use a breadboard to connect it. I simply connected each end of a 10cm dupont cable to make each of the 8 connections. If you can assemble furniture from a box you are more than qualified for this task. Your first step is to connect your transceiver to your ESP32.
