Excellent. Many thanks Vadim.

I noticed that the bands in the datasheet DO NOT match field testing. I 
moved three of them but did not have enough coverage here to test them 
all. It's good that you also noticed/fixed the issue. I noticed issues 
at the 'edge' of bands. I thought field tester may find more. :)

I mentioned the symbol rate issues in the original patch email.

I've have seen the same problem with 5MSps channels. Is this not a basic 
table/data problem, based on a symbol rate lookup?

If it's not in the cx24123 or 24109 datasheets then Conexant have not 
documented it. I asked for as much as possible but I spent weeks 
negotiating what we have. No more information is available.

Yes. I've just never looked into the problem. I assume the table is wrong.

I take it that someone send you the datasheet then?

Regards,

Steve
