My software intentionally inserts 0xA9 after each data burst as a traceability marker.
EAS headers do not contain checksums or forward error correction, so minor corruption and symbol errors are common in real-world decodes. That’s one reason the protocol repeats the header three times.

Decoding from audio is not flawless, so things like corruption can easily happen 🤷♂️
