At this point the goal is to understand what the value means for different demods. For the simple cases where the answer is "it's the SNR in 0.1db as provided by register X", then it's easy. If it's "I don't really know and I just guessed based on empirical testing, then that is useful information too. Once people have reported in with the information, I will see about submitting a patch reflecting this information as a comment in the driver source for the various demods. -- Devin J.
