#### TROUBLESHOOTING TIP - I Cannot make the RADIO NOT INITIALIZED message go away
This message appears when ESPSomfy-RTS sends the configuration to the CC1101 but it cannot read it back. This can be caused by a couple of things but the most common reason is because of the way the CC1101 boards are marked. First check your wiring and keep in mind that the odd numbered pins (1,3,5,7) are on the bottom edge of the board and when you flip it over to hook it up they go from right to left instead of left to right.
#### TROUBLESHOOTING TIP - I Get signals from my remote but cannot pair ESPSomfy-RTS
Please take a moment to ensure the selections are correct for the RX and TX pins. If your transceiver is receiving but cannot transmit as indicated by being able to see the commands from the remote but your motor does not jog when trying pair the ESPSomfy-RTS device with your motor, then you likely have the RX and TX selections backwards. The CC1101 can only transmit (TX) using the pin marked GDO0 but it can receive on either GDO0 or GDO2.
#### TROUBLESHOOTING TIP - I still cannot get ESPSomfy-RTS to pair with my motor
If you have multiple motors and one of them will not pair then this can be one of a couple of things. First verify that you have the correct protocol selected. If you select the RTS protocol for an RTW motor or vice versa, ESPSomfy will send out commands in RTS protocol for which your RTW motor will simply ignore. Somfy motors also have a limited number of memory slots if you fill them up you will need to factory reset the motor to clear them out then pair your remotes again.
## Tune your Transceiver
The default tuning parameters are most likely not the best settings for your transceiver. To start, first select the RX Bandwidth to 96.96kHz and the Frequency Deviation to 11.43kHz. You can use the arrows on your keyboard to fine tune the value. Then press the `Save Radio` button. Next, using a remote from about 3 feet away press one of the buttons. ESPSomfy RTS should pick up the signal and provide an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value. This number is a measurement of how strong the signal is. The closer this value gets to 0 indicates a stronger received signal.
