CC1120 and noise at the end of long 0 level

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1120

Hi,

We are using CC112x Evaluation Module Kit on 433MHz. We send a question and listen to an answer. There is noise at the end of longer low level state in the answer (plots below). That noise is practically always in that place. We think that proper registers settings may remove  (or degrade) the noise. Please see our reg settings and plots and help.

We work on 433,82MHz, 2-FSK, deviation 6,3kHz, 2,4kbaud, transparent mode. Settings were taken from RFStudio.
