You would need to be listening with LineMode = false to receive such mixed packets, but you don't really know how long to listen since there is no length sent anywhere. You should really devise a simple protocol that means you know how much data you are sending, and therefore how much to receive. The simplest improvement in your example would be work out the total length of string and record, send that length first, followed by a short string with length byte, then the binary record. Or just move the string into the record (as ShortString). You then know exactly how much data is being received, and can wait for as many packets as it takes. It will not necessarily arrive in a single packet.
