This is a 'classical' error of (starting?) C programmers (no offence!).
'&gPacket' points indeed to the start of the packet, but &gPacket+1
points to the next packet!
You must typecast you structure to a BYTE-array before adding i,
something like:
   SCI_PrintByte(*((BYTE *)(&gPacket)) + i));
Don't know if this is supported by your compiler.

I would define the whole packet as character-array and use:
   SCI_PrintByte(gPacket[i]);
I'm surprised the compiler allows you to define a variable array size in
the structure!

Success.
Rob.
