         how are you dumping this?
         you have an imbedded (stuffed)DLE, which is sent as DLE/DLE but the 
second is to be ignored.

 Ex: In the tsip developer tool kit , from TsipParser.c

            case TSIP_IN_PARTIAL:
                // The parser is in this state if a previous character was
                // a part of the TSIP data. As noted above, a DLE character
                // can be a part of the TSIP data in which case another DLE
                // character is present in the data stream. So, here we look 
                // at the next character in the stream (currently loaded in 
                // ucByte). If it is a DLE character, we just encountered
                // a stuffed DLE byte. In that case, we ignore this byte
                // and go back to the TSIP_DLE state. That way, we will log
                // only one DLE byte which was a part of the TSIP data.
                //
                // All other non-DLE characters are placed in the TSIP packet
                // buffere.
                if (ucByte == DLE) 
                {
                    nParseState = TSIP_DLE;
                }
                else 
                {
                    ucPkt[nPktLen++] = ucByte;
                }
                break;
