Hi,
First thing that comes to mind after that description is AGC. Are you
using a slow AGC? If the signal is close by then it is strong, that
means AGC will kick in and reduce receiver gain. If you are using a slow
AGC then much of the frame can be lost during the time that AGC is
slowly increasing again. If you are using slow then try a fast AGC.
