Agreed, since this is a feature that most people do not need, I would suggest that you replicate the internals of femon to suit your data capturing needs. On the other side of argument, the ber and unc fields is probably oversized, and could be reduced, but this is a binary incompatible change. So it's not really feasible in the real world :( I would guess that something like: time status signal snr ber unc status Mar 24 15:24:46 1f fd10 e334 00000018 00000000 FE_HAS_LOCK Mar 24 15:24:47 1f fd10 e334 00000018 00000000 FE_HAS_LOCK Would work..
