Hi SG, well, packets getting broken over the air is normal. That's what happens!
Also, really, we've removed quite a bit of broken packet infrastructure in GNU Radio 3.8; you should really be using GNU Radio 3.8 and when starting to develop anything in this day and age. GNU Radio 3.7 is something we maintain for legacy reasons, mainly.
