One option might be to use some forward erasure coding on each Codec2 frame to give you two 8-byte packets, then in each RF frame, you send packet 2 (or zeros if it's the first packet) from the previous Codec2 frame concatenated with packet 1 from the current Codec2 frame. You double your data rate, but if an RF frame gets lost, you can still recover the full message with no delay or loss. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
