I wrote the received values to to eeprom and read them and with 110,110,110,110,110,110 sent, it received 6E,AE,6E,EE,6E,EE. These are 110,174,110,238,110,238.

The similarity is in the binary,
Hex DEC bin
6E 110 0110 1110
AE 174 1010 1110
EE 238 1110 1110

the last 4 bits are all the same and the first 4 arent too different. I will try changing the sender type to unsigned instead of integer and see what changes.
