Apparently the first byte is the number of bytes of the packet, earlier the output from URH wasn't reliable.. I had to switch to a better SDR to get a more consistent reading.

I got it to work by commenting out SpiWriteReg(CC1101_TXFIFO,size);, is there a way to do it without modifying the library?

void ELECHOUSE_CC1101::SendData(byte *txBuffer,byte size)
{
  //SpiWriteReg(CC1101_TXFIFO,size);
  SpiWriteBurstReg(CC1101_TXFIFO,txBuffer,size);      //write data to send
  SpiStrobe(CC1101_SIDLE);
  SpiStrobe(CC1101_STX);                  //start send
    while (!digitalRead(GDO0));               // Wait for GDO0 to be set -> sync transmitted  
    while (digitalRead(GDO0));                // Wait for GDO0 to be cleared -> end of packet
  SpiStrobe(CC1101_SFTX);                 //flush TXfifo
  trxstate=1;
}
