Upstream seems to like this behaviour. The problem that I don't know what the safe max length is, is still present. I'd love to talk to JT, if he only didn't have me blacklisted. Oh well...

There is stuff there not available through other means, such
as firmware version, diversity settings, more detailed bit rate,
