These signals still are incorrect in the said sense. You may like to
complain to the poster.

Of course, you can try just adjusting the length in the header: Just
change the forth number from "009c" to "0026". Rationale: there are 38 =
0x26 burst pairs (two numbers make a burst pair, not counting the first
four). But it is not exactly plausible that the poster had perfect
signals, just that the length got screwed up?
