(N) Show channel signal/noise

This function is exactly the same as in the Radio Statistics Menu explained previously.

(L) Show Stats/Logging

This function shows the statistics relating to the quality of the data throughput and information
regarding the performance of both serial ports. The following table in Figure 6-41 is an example of what
is shown when this function is selected.

Frame count = 63972 Empty Frames = 63972
Good packets = 0 Bad packets = 0
Lost packets = 0 Retries = 0
Good Headers = 0 Bad Headers = 0
Lost Frame Lock = 255 Low RSSI = 0
Data Sent = 187693 Data Recv = 187693
Rx Overflows = 0 Rx Overruns = 0
Tx Overflows = 0 Busy waits = 0
--------------------------------------------------------------
MAIN: Tx = 187693 Rx = 187693
Rx Errors = 0 Overflow = 0 Overrun = 0 Framing = 0
Tx Errors = 0 Overflow = 0

AUX: Tx = 90600 Rx = 531
Rx Errors = 0 Overflow = 0 Overrun = 0 Framing = 0
Tx Errors = 0 Overflow = 0
