RFM69 Noise floor threshold in FSK mode

I know that there is a noise floor threshold in RFM69 for OOK limited by OokFixedThresh. But is there a similar thing to get rid of such a noise floor in FSK configuration? The problem is that the noise floor is pretty high  in continuous mode and the receiver delivers bits on DIO2 even when FSK transmitter is shut off.
I appreciate if anybody can help on this?

Do you use a particular library?
If not, you are probably on a personal journey discovering continuous mode, and your best friend and starting point there is the datasheet.

Hi there,
I am also working with RFM69 in continuous mode, trying to receive some GFSK signal with 100kbps.
I set the RSSI threshold to 166 to get rid of ground noise.
But unfortunately I cannot receive any data on DIO2.
@Nima, can you show me your settings?

@stevestrong,

Remember that RssiThreshold is in 0.5db steps - that setting is then -88dBm.  The usual noise floor if you are not sitting next to a 'noisy' laptop is better than -100dBm.  Do you know that the signal you seek is stronger than -88dBm and do you know the baud rate?
