NRF24L01+ with antenna not working.

Hi, I’m new to this forum.

I’ve got PIC18LF14K22 and NRF24L01+ working with ESB , Dynamic payload and ACK Payload. The NRF24L01+ module is type with zig zag

antenna on pcb.

When I switch the PTX or PRX NRF24 to one with an antenna for greater distance , the PRX receives payload from PTX but PTX does not

receive ACK Payload from PRX.

When I use two NRF24L01+ with antenna it is back working perfectly again (with no changes to hardware or code).

Are these modules compatible?

Has anyone else had this problem/solution?

Thanks, okayid
