Needs more documentation.

Ahem.

Need to document the types.

I have a nagging feeling I keep asking this, but what's the point of
radar detection without channel switch? Or is it the other way around
that's interesting? Maybe should verify that if you have DFS you also
have chanswitch?

Bogus documentation.
