Can the RF24G's be too close?

Will having two RF24G’s on the same breadboard about 6 inches apart cause them to have problems communicating? I’ve checked and rechecked the code, the config bits, and the wiring but I still am not seeing any results.

I’ve set up one as a transmitter simply spitting out ABCD every half second, the receiver is on its own PIC that is simply set to light up an LED when the DR1 pin shows that it has received data. Currently, it takes about 5 or 6 seconds of transmitting before I ever see LED light up on the receiver PIC.

Also, the sample code from sparkfun is putting a 10bin in the RFpower bits, shouldn’t it be 11bin for max power?

(I’ve tried it both ways with the same results)

My answer is most likely “no”, yet you could try moving them apart (but I suppose you can’t right now)
