/**
* Provides a simple broadcast radio abstraction, built upon the raw nrf51822 RADIO module.
*
* This class provides the ability to extend the micro:bit's MessageBus to other micro:bits in the vicinity,
* in a very similar way to the MicroBitEventService for BLE interfaces.
* It is envisaged that this would provide the basis for children to experiment with building their own, simple,
* custom asynchronous events and actions.
*
* NOTE: This API does not contain any form of encryption, authentication or authorisation. Its purpose is solely for use as a
* teaching aid to demonstrate how simple communications operates, and to provide a sandpit through which learning can take place.
* For serious applications, BLE should be considered a substantially more secure alternative.
