Continuous waveform transmission with the STM32WL55JC sub-GHz radio.

[KImlay]

Hi,

I am developing on the Nucleo-wl55jc2 development board and I am trying to program the sub-GHz radio to transmit a continuous wave (not sending data packets, just a waveform). I have attached my code below along with a zip of the project. This code has been simplified from the 'SUBGHZ_Tx_Mode' example program that can be generated using the example selector when generating a new project.

I have tested both the 'SUBGHZ_Tx_Mode' example program and my code with a spectrum analyzer and a software-defined radio, and have not been able to pick up a transmission on either.

Any help is appreciated.
