How often do EVENT_TRANSFER_TX_FAILED events occur?

Hi,

We have a nrf52840 programmed with the ANT Network Processor (built from source).
Sending Burst and Acknowledged messages to another nrf52840, both using S340 (v6.1.1)

We are getting the EVENT_TRANSFER_TX_FAILED events 25-50% of the time, at every Acknowledged/Burst message we send.
My questions:
1. Is this expected behavior for a office setting?
2. Are there actions we can take to mitigate the risk of these TX failures? We already tweaked the advanced burst configuration.
3. How often do these events occur for you guys and what do you guys do when they occur?

Any help would be appreciated.

The answer was in the Burst Transfer Application Note, which I totally missed. I was transferring a single advanced burst packet, which doesn't automatically retry. After one retry the packet almost always arrives.
