The output power of a radio is a critical factor for achieving wanted range. Output power is also the first test
criteria needed to qualify for all telecommunication regulations.
Configuration
The nRF24L01 should now output a carrier.

Note: This is not a clean carrier but is slightly modulated by the preamble.
Set PWR_UP = 1 in the CONFIG register
Wait 1.5ms PWR_UP->standby
Clear the PRIM_RX in the CONFIG register
Set all auto acknowledgement functionality in the EN_AA register and the SETUP_RETR register
Set output power
Set PLL_LOCK to 1
Configure TX address as 5 bytes with all 0xFF
Fill the TX payload with 32 bytes of 0xFF
Turn off CRC
Set the wanted RF channel
Transmit the packet by pulsing CE (minimum 10µs)
Wait until the transmission ends (indicated by IRQ going active, a fixed delay of 1ms can also be
Set CE high
Use the SPI command for re-use of last sent packet (REUSE_TX_PL)
Keep CE high as long as the carrier is needed
