Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone would know as to where the two bits of the Sync
Headers are located after they've gone through the Gearbox. Although
the two bits will not be in the same bits location every clock cycle
after the Gearbox, my understanding is that these two bits are always
adjacent to each other.

When reading one of the UNH's documentation, it doesn't appear that my
assumption is true (i.e. the two bits may be anywhere). What does the
3rd bullet in page 24 of this presentation means:

Thanks for your help,
-Markus
