Please understand what you're doing if trying to break out of official frequencies.** +Here's what the [manufacturer of the chip (CC1101) says](https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/sub-1-ghz-group/sub-1-ghz/f/sub-1-ghz-forum/1120743/cc1101-operation-outside-datasheet-frequencies/4154832) about going outside the limits: + +``` +The frequency range of the chip is always tested in the verification tests and there is always some design margin included before +the VCO and/or PLL has problems operating for a specified frequency range. Working outside the frequency range can cause issues +with the VCO and/or PLL and/or divider not operating correctly. If the VCO is operating outside it's standard frequency range, +there are risks of unwanted emissions and no oscillation. The PLL can also fail to lock if operating outside it's standard +frequency range and will still apply power to the antenna. + +Risks with antenna mismatch are increased harmonics, reduced output power and increased current consumption. Generally, the antenna +mismatch can be large and the output stage will not be damaged when presented with a large mismatch for short periods of time. +However, if the antenna mismatch is very poor for long periods of time, then this can effect the longevity of the chip especially +if further stressed with maximum voltage and maximum temperature. Recommend keeping VSWR better than 5:1 for worst case scenarios. +``` + You'll need to edit some code and recompile if you want to break outside of the officially supported frequencies.
