PDR121 receives a radio message

PDR121 transmits the message on the serial interface after
configured Pre DCD time

DCD is high during the Pre DCD time, the serial
transmission time and configured Post DCD time

CTS is low from when the message is detected on the
radio until the Post DCD time is ended
