My question/complaint level is exceeded. Time to do something to reduce these questions. Lets hack this to so it can be used. This proposal is a total hack to report signal strength. If we have FE_LOCK return a signal strength of say 42 or 100 or 0x7FFF or 0xFFFF (pick one) otherwise return 0. This will allow applications to use signal strength to determine if the ATSC/QAM receiver has acquired a signal. Signal strength will return either 0 or whatever was picked and not the actual signal strength. This hack is not so good for antenna aiming. Humm, if this is a settable parameter, the user could pick any return value for the FE_LOCK condition. This would be the maximum value that can be returned. This is the "100%" value for signal strength. --Mac On Monday 03 April 2006 04:26 pm, Michael Krufky wrote: > However, this will not answer your original question > about signal strength -- The lgdt330x driver does not > report signal strength due to the ambiguity of the > spec...
