+  To generate an N bit random number, perform N read operation of the register RegRssiWideband (address 0x2c)
+  and use the LSB of the fetched value. The value from RegRssiWideband is derived from a wideband (4MHz) signal strength
+  at the receiver input and the LSB of this value constantly and randomly changes.
