Write to TX RAM Memory while in RX Mode

Question

Hello, 
 
 Fairly new to the ADAR1000. While the ADAR1000 is in RX mode, is it possible to write to the RAM transmit beam positions (RAM starting at 0x1800). For example, what I am expecting to do it: 
 - Toggle TR pin to low to activate RX mode 
 - Write to addresses 0x1800 - 0x180E for the next transmit sequence 
 - Wait for RX mode time to be over 
 - Toggle TR pin to high, toggle TX_LOAD as needed

Yes, in general you should be able to write to the transmit memory locations while in receive mode, and vice versa. This assumes the sequencer is setup properly and the Start & Stop values are set correctly. And the 6 or more SCLK cycles followed by the LOAD command is being done to properly fetch & load data from the RAM. 
 You need to be careful when re-writing data to RAM dynamically while you are sequencing through the beam positions. You need to re-write the data 2 beam positions ahead where you are at in the sequence. e.g. if you are at Beam Position N, at minimum you need to load at Beam Position N + 2, or greater.)
