The program works as follows for one transmitter:
1. The program is reading at channel 0 until a message is read. This is the
init phase.
2a. When no message could be read, a time-out will occur and the program
start again with step 1 (reading channel 0).
2b. When a message is read from channel 0, the channel is changed to the
next hop frequency (for US this is channel 19).
3a. When a message is read from channel 19, the channel will hop yo the
next frequency (for US: channel 41).
3b. When no message could be read, a time-out will occur and the program
will increase the 'missed-counts-in-a-row'. The next channel is selected
(for US: channel 25).
4a. When a message is read, the 'missed-counts-in-a-row' is reset to zero.
4b. When no message could be read, and the 'missed-counts-in-a-row' has
value 5 or bigger, the program start all over with the init phase at step 1.
So in your case, Rich, only with the first frequency a message could be
read. The other 4 hop frequencies were no good and no single message could
be read, so the program started all over with channel 0.
When you change line 262 in main.go:
if chAlarmCnts[i] > 5 {
into:
if chAlarmCnts[i] > 51 {
The program will hop through all 51 channels. This could be a nice test to
see which of the 51 frequencies are good and which aren't.
