I don't know about the actual values you're getting from Crc16CalcBlock
(though they match a Crc routine that I once got from another source).
However, your method for getting the individual bytes from crc16 could be
better. Using:
crcLSB = (Byte) crc16;
crcMSB = (Byte) (crc16 >> 8);
protects you from the endian-ness of the processor.
