When it works, are the multiple packets directly one after another? AKA
back-to-back?

If so, a few quick thoughts:

Perhaps there is an issue with ramp up or ramp down transition period,
which causes packet header or trailer corruption.

If you pad extra samples onto the front and back of a transmit burst,
does that help the single packet case?
