MSP430F2013 and RF12B

Has anyone gotten these to work with the MSP430’s? I’ve seen some posts but nothing complete… I’ve been working on this for about 2-3 weeks and have nearly given up. Here’s my code thus far. Ive tried SW and HW SPI. Here’s the software one because it should be easier to read. I’ve borrowed some of the JeeNode code as well as some code from anything I could find to get it to work. I would like to be able to send a packet to my JeeNode. With HW SPI I just seem to see POR set in the status all the time (power is good)
