Why are you worrying about DC balancing a radio system?  I can see why you'd want to with cable linked comms, 
but radio (especially if it's FM) really doesn't care about it, as far as I know...

I'd say a Hamming code is your best bet for error detection/correction, since I believe that Manchester coding 
can only detect that there is an error, but not tell you what it is (a simple Hamming code should be able to 
detect and correct all 1-bit errors, and detect all 2-bit errors in a byte).

Cheers,
