1. A method in a radio frequency (RF) communication system for transmitting information comprising multiple data formats, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving said information;
(b) parsing the information into a plurality of nibbles, each of said plurality of nibbles comprising a predetermined number of bits;
(c) providing said plurality of nibbles to a terminal as a message;
(d) encoding said message; and
(e) providing said encoded message to transmitting means for transmission therefrom.

Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) communication system transmits information including multiple data formats. The RF communication system receives the information (102) and parses the information into a plurality of nibbles (126), each of the nibbles comprising a predetermined number of bits. The plurality of nibbles are then provided to a terminal (10) as a message (154), the message is encoded by the terminal (10), and the encoded message is transmitted to a transmitter (15) for transmission therefrom.
