Bob,

Sorry, but there are only five bytes and are as follows;

Byte   Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------
  1    Start of Message ID    Constant
  2-3  Unit Identification    15 bits constant (1 bit battery low)
  4    Frequency Value        Variable
  5    Checksum               Variable

Sorry for the delay in answering, and thanks for your interest.

Regards,

Peter
