CC1101: Not transmitting or receiving, square wave on RF out.

Part Number: CC1101


Tool/software:

Hi, we are struggling to get a CC1101 to work (915MHz band). The schematic should be the same as the ref design (see below). When probing the RF out pins of the CC1101 while telling it to transmit, we see a strange ~600Hz 1V square wave (on both of the RF out pins). Probing a different design (that works) does not show this square wave. SPI seems to be working as it should. We don't have a spectrum analyser, but are in the process of acquiring one. The DCOUPL pin shows 1.8V. 

Any advice would be highly appreciated.
