-- *encode_19696(_data)* -- Accepts an LC as a 12-byte string (LC and RS1293 FEC) encodes it into a 196bit bitarray and builds the proper row and column structure with hamming codes and returns a type bitarray

-- *encode_header_lc(_lc) -- Accpets LC data as a bitarray, applies the header mask and appends RS1293 FEC, encodes BPTC19696, interleaves for transmition. Returns a type bitarray that is the full DMR LC header packet.

+- *decode_emblc(_elc):* Extracts the useful EMBEDDED LC data without checking for errors. Accepts a type bitarray and returns type string.
 
-- *encode_emblc(_lc) -- Accepts 12 byte LC as a string, adds 5-byte checksum, adds row hamming bits, column partiy bits and arranges the matrix for transmission. Returns a type dict with 4 key/value pairs. Keys 1-4 are DMR bursts b-e respectively, such that burst "B" is key 1's associated value and so on.
