So just packing the output bits into 8 bits per byte doesn't necessarily give you the right information. Say you transmit a byte with bits [a b c d e f g h]. After the delays introduced by the transmit and receiver filter and the channel, when you pack the results, you could get something like [x x x a b c d e] [f g h 0 0 0 0 0], for some unknown number of x's. You need some logic that knows how to discover the start of your information and get rid of those x's. The framer blocks do this with some assumed formatting and expectations. Johnathan and I have been working on a better version of this, but we haven't had a chance to finish it off. Tom
