The two datasheets differ on the function of pin 14 as well. Did your datasheet come from the same source as the transceiver? To know for sure which version your board is, see if the voltage at pin 2 changes with varying signal level, or if it remains at a steady low.
If you read the datasheet throroughly, you'll notice that only the name of pin 2 was changed to a somewhat misleading "RSSI". It's still a digital output, switching low above a certain RX signal strength. I guess, the datasheets are describing exactly the same module. I didn't look into software details however.
Yes, you're right. Please excuse my analog prejudices. Pin 3 is a different matter. If it goes low when the unit is transmitting, the RF Solutions datasheet is the right one. If it doesn't, the other datasheet, which tags pin 3 as "RFU" (reserved for future use) is the correct one.
Are all of us totally confused yet?
