How much data can you send in a single radio single? I assume it's not TCP/IP

Downlink from Voyager to Earth is currently 40 bits/s but can be up to 160 bits/s. The signal is received at -160dBm or around 100 _zeptowatts_ (1e-22 kW).

Have you investigated this or are you just asking? I imagine if you wish to learn the answer it is a few simple searches away. And by “imagine” I mean, it is.

You can get raw bitrate numbers, not so much about the way transmissions are formatted.

Posting a question in a forum has its benefits though. A bunch of drive by folks end up picking up information they would never have gone through the trouble of researching themselves.
