I already did a lot of the work for standardizing signal level, but I need to clean it up, consider new demod modules, push trees and send pull requests. Right now, correct -- I don't have time for it. I'll likely get to this by mid-august -- I will have more time again by then. I have a plethora of changes in my queue that I have to burn through and merge, including j-rod's lgdt3304 support. I used to get this stuff done very quickly, but there is a lot of change going on in my life right now... When things settle down here, I'll be back in full force. :-) Regards, Mike Krufky Regards, Mike
