A comment here wouldn't hurt.

Ditto, the meaning of RCMTA isn't obvious.

So OK, let's remove support for A PHYs. I never got done with it and maybe it
had to be rewritten from scratch anyway.

A comment here would be nice.

Why?

What?

"Initialized, not yet started."

I'd prefer "***" but this isn't relevant. :)

An evolution of the iRack? :P

Dot at the end.

Ditto.

"True".

Ditto.

"State of the radio hardware enable bit."
