No, sorry. It is very simple it calculates how the packets should look
like and then prints it out on the screen. To get it to the radio is a

All I can say is that it _calculates things_. A friend hardcoded the
output from this program into a microcontroller which modulated a radio
transmitter. He was the RF designer, I was only the "algorithm decrypter".
