CC1310: Standby in TI-RTOS during RX

Part Number: CC1310


What is the minimum current draw for the CC1310 when in Receive mode? Datasheet says 5,5mA but is that only for the Radio and the MCU still eats some mA on top of that? I'm measuring 6,9mA for the whole CC1310 while the unit is supposed to be in standby (running sleep()), so I'm guessing it's actually not in standby.

In RFCC26XX_hwAttrs there is a line
.xoscHfAlwaysNeeded = true,     /* Keep XOSC dependency while in standby */

so am I correct in assuming that if I want to receive stuff, I need to have XOSC on, and if I have XOSC on, even if the MCU goes to standby, it won't draw near as little current as when the XOSC is off i.e. proper standby? Any pointers to decreasing the current draw further are welcome.
