Radio packets and serial packets are two different animals. They might
contain some of the same fields, but there's necessarily not a one-to-one
relationship.
What developers usually do is the following:
1) they receive a radio packet
2) they "extract" the payload and identify its various fields expressed as
an structure such as
MyRadioPacket {
uint8_t field1;
uint8_t field2;
etc}
3) they create a serial packet with the fields you chose to send to the
serial port (which is not necessarily the same as the radio packet as you
probably want to add extra fields, etc)
MySerialPacket{
uint8_t TheOnlyField;
}
and, as needed, copy or point its fields to the corresponding radio packet
fields (in this case we have only one field)
ASerialPacket.TheOnlyField=MyRadioPacket.field2;
