Maybe I should rephrase: I don't know the entire protocol. I know there is a preamble, and I know the sync word. I know the packets are not fixed length, I know there is a CRC. This can all be determined from looking at the register settings for the CC1101 chip. The format of the data portion of transmission I do not know. In order to reverse that I need raw data for analysis.
That is how I am handling it right now. I stream the output of the Correlate Access Code to a file sink. What is in that file though is data, not readable binary stream (or readable hex stream). What I want is tcpdump like output.
