Note: Leaving RTS de-asserted for too long can cause data loss once the transceiver's receive buffer reaches capacity.

*Feature not implemented at time of release.

If the transceiver buffer fills up and more bytes are sent to it before the buffer can be emptied, data loss will occur. The transceiver prevents this loss by deasserting CTS High as the buffer fills up and asserting CTS Low as the buffer is emptied. CTS should be monitored by the Host device and data flow to the radio should be stopped when CTS is High.

Sleep Indicator output. Sleep Ind. can be used to determine whether or not the transceiver is sleeping. When logic Low, the transceiver is in sleep mode. When logic High, the transceiver is awake.

AD In can be used as a cost savings to replace Analog-to-Digital converter hardware with the onboard 12-bit ADC. Reading of this pin can be performed locally using the Read ADC command found in the On-the-Fly Control Command Reference.
