Add CCW to scanner example

- Add feature to output a CCW on a specified channel and power level to the scanner example per #609
- Changed scanner example to use Serial prints instead of printf
- Removed unneeded delays

- * Channel scanner
+ * Channel scanner and Continuous Carrier Wave Output
  *
  * Example to detect interference on the various channels available.
  * This is a good diagnostic tool to check whether you're picking a
  * good channel for your application.
+ * 
+ * Run this sketch on two devices. On one device, start CCW output by sending a 'g'
+ * character over Serial. The other device scanning should detect the output of the sending
+ * device on the given channel. Adjust channel and output power of CCW below.
  *
  * Inspired by cpixip.
