by default, even when not sending data, cc2420 is in receiving mode, which consumes slightly less power than in sending mode. can you measure the current when radio totally disabled? To save energy as much as possible, you can call RadioControl.start() when you want to send a packet. After startDone, call RadioControl.stop(). Based on our test, that can save you alot.
