And in my opinion this comment makes you look like an idiot.
You have absolutely no clue about the meaning of the values in the sprom.You're probably correct because I can't find any concrete description of the data other than what you claim it to possibly be.That is because the FCC (and most regulatory agencies) is paranoid about just anybody turning these things up to illegal output values, so it is they who have put the shroud of secrecy about this stuff, which many of them can do since the chipsets are not US specific, but largely universal as other places allow more power output and somewhat different band usage limits & channel assignments. The fact that this suits Broadcoms business model is just icingon the cake for their legal staff.
I don't want to increase it to an illegal level or blindly make changes with throughly testing the effects of the changes to ensure they are optimum settings and still within legal levels.
In my dealings with Broadcom, I'm told that receiver gain and transmit power are controllable but they do not release the information so I have to go by the information I can find which is minimal and it's accuracy is questionable.But please try to increase the value by 1 or 2 dBi. You will see whathappens. But please don't explain the result with any weird clipping theory or whatever.I'd love to test changes however the program is broken and this is what I have been writing about, if you have already performed similar test why not publish the results of your tests? Now, can we get back to the discussion of fixing the application?Possibly, provided your sidewalk superintending is just that. As a broadcast engineer with nearly 60 years of steering electrons in ways to make them do useful work, I think Michael has a better understanding of what it is that he is slowly discovering and making work than someone who just walked in the door. Even with my experience, I wouldn't pretend to think I can tell Micheal or Larry what to do, so why should you be capable of doing that with maybe a monthof observation?
Sidewalk superintending???What you do has nothing to do with fixing the program and I could really care less about what you do, as I have been saying, it's broken so lets fix it.
I'm not telling him to do anything, when the program works properly I will conduct tests and draw conclusions based on the results, make the results available to others but I certainly wont do it with a broken program.
At this time there is no certainty that he has decoded the data properly because there is no manufacturing documentation I can find that outlines the data, only a very good possibility that he has decoded it properly and this is what I am counting on.
Regardless of anything I want to do to a card, the program needs to be fixed and the focus is being sidetracked by chatter of licenses and books about antennas which have nothing to do with the ssb-sprom program working.
Discussing anything with me other than fixing the program is a complete waste of time yet people are hell-bent on sidetracking the fixing of the program, draw whatever conclusion you want from it, unless you have something of value to add towards fixing the program your comments have no value.
We can sit here in a pissing contest and the ruffling of feathers about bullshit and stupidity for months to come and it wont change the fact that the application is broken and needs to be fixed, if you don't wish to contribute to fixing it then I suggest you let someone who does intervene and let the focus return to fixing the program.
