Per your message : That would be the 'byte stuffing' inherent in TSIP packet structure.

Packet 0X8F-AB is specified as being 17 bytes including the subcode ( 8F)
Do you mean that you cant depend on that packet  always being 17 bytes ?
I'm getting 18 bytes only when the time has 16 seconds in it. ( the second byte is duplicated )

If you cant depend on having a constant number of bytes ( as defined in the spec ) , how do you then decode it ?

Thanks
Hank
