I expierenced when setting channel while sleep mode it didn't changed the channel inside the hardware registers. Then I got another report of an user which has similar issues. I increased the sleep to off state change timing, which is according at86rf233 at maximum 1000 us. After this change I got no similar effects again. I tried another option to wait on AWAKE_END irq, which can be used to wait until the transceiver is awaked. I tested it and the IRQ took 4 seconds after starting state change. I don't believe it takes 4 seconds to go into the TRX_OFF state from SLEEP state. The alternative is to increase the timings which seems to work.
