What's the most > difficult component? Hello, There are basically two "difficult components" 1. Getting everyone to agree on a standard representation for the field, and how to represent certain error conditions (such as when a demod doesn't support SNR, or when it cannot return a valid value at a given time). 2. Converting all the drivers to the agreed-upon format. For some drivers this is relatively easy as we have specs available for how the SNR is represented. For others, the value displayed is entirely reverse engineered so the current representations are completely arbitrary. Devin -- Devin J.
