I get it all the time. Midi transfer continues...
Even after removing R3, I get the message alternating with a checksum 
message I guess. It changes so quickly. But I can clearly see the end 
X.  When it ends I see the checksum message. (before removing R3 it 
ended withe the bad block message) Transmission was OK now.  This is 
when receiving Sysex so not during a build send. I'll try some more 
tomorrow.
