Robert !! Thanks you... All my point was.. >> was, what's the app "supposed" to be doing, and is it correctly doing it! I really don't care what the answer is, and I've got no dog in the fight. Just that whatever the "?" was/is supposed to represent is documented, or is a bug!! The issue of whether someone should/should not hide their ssid is secondary to if the software is working/documented for the user.. as an aside.. I can easily see an app throwing a frowny face if it detects a channel with no ssid! - but doc what the frowny face means!
