Ok, this brings up more questions :).
I have never had any problems with errors when sending messages. Sometimes the
message is not recieved but when it is, I have never seen any errors in the
transmission. Am I missing your point?
Second, what is RF? I live in Europe, so if there is a difference between
European and American versions, I am not certain which I have.
Back to errors in transmission. Is a system with checksum or something similar
used when transmitting?
Regards
Tobias

| (...) lnp does a checksum and throws away bad data. I think it is a 1 byte checksum so 1 out of 256 errors gets through anyway. There is no retry so timeout and retry has to be handled by some higher level code. (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
