Hello all–

I am attempting a loopback test using the packet encoder/decoder and a
few
different modulation schemes (QAM for this specific example).

Upon attempting to source a file generated to align to the configured
payload size, the output is still short a few bytes. Different
modulation
produces the same results.

Any thoughts for narrowing this down? Code is here:

Trying again. Is this normal?
