It seems as the last burst packet is retransmitted as a broadcast packet until new broadcast data is written. Is this correct? What is the correct way to avoid this, immediately send broadcast data after a burst is complete, rather than waiting for waiting for an ANT_TX message. Or is there no way to garantee the data won't be retransmitted and I should redesign my protocol so that it doesn't matter.

Thx

Yes this is true, the last burst packet will be retransmitted as a broadcast packet until new broadcast data is written. The correct way to avoid this is to immediately send broadcast data from the host after receiving the EVENT_TRANSFER_TX_COMPLETED message from the ANT master.

Refer to section 9.5.5.3 Burst Data (0x50), in the ANT Message Protocol and Usage Doc for more details on the Burst Transfer sequence.
