Atmega328p Power Saving Techniques

Using Arduino Microcontrollers

@fungus - I got that problem solved. Thanks

@Mr. Gammon - Okay, so that concludes that for IR! I don't know much about rf transceiver, but could you help clear this up for me? I found an rf transceiver model nRF24L01 that takes about 900 nanoAmps in sleep mode, 22 microAmps in standby mode, and above 10milliA when transmit and/or receive. My questions are when this transceiver is in sleep or standby mode, can it receive signal or do you have to power it up for it to receive or does the signal cause it to power up from sleep mode?

Here's a link: Page 14 is where power consumption is at:
