Outside, on battery, an hour on LongFast with a Capture running: 0
packets, 0 headers. The noise is no lower than at the desk and its peaks
follow the device, so about 15 dB of the floor is the Cardputer's own
(issue #20). With IRC on TLS and the radio listening, 52.6 KB free. One
"Done when" item is half met: Sweep was never tried against a known
transmitter. The card's refused writes are issue #21.

Tab in the LoRa Scanner sweeps 863-870 MHz in 100 kHz steps (the
strongest of three RSSI readings at each, at 125 kHz), shown as bars with
peak hold over a waterfall, the Sniffer's frequency marked (Q98). The
Sweep pauses the Sniffer and keeps its packets; Tab resumes it (Q99).
Status Bar: SW. The floor, top and peaks are host-tested; `lora sweep
on|off|dump` prints them on the console.
At the desk: about 607 ms a pass, a flat floor at -100 to -102 dBm
(15 dB above the chip's own) and a steady carrier at 863.2 MHz.

The Sniffer lists packets newest first (time, RSSI, SNR, and for
Meshtastic the sender, receiver and hops), with the clear header and a
hex dump on Enter (Q96); `p` picks an EU868 preset, kept in Settings
(Q95). `c` starts a Capture: pcap with LoRaTap in /captures/lora, its own
Clean-up category, recorded by a small Service so it carries on with the
App closed (Q97, Q100). The Status Bar shows L while listening, bright on
each packet, and CAP while capturing (Q101). StorageService gains raw
appends for binary files. Debug Builds get `lora inject` to test all of
this with no transmitter in range: a Capture made on the device reads
back in TShark field for field.

The 16-byte clear header (hops away, channel hash, relay node), the EU_868
presets and their frequency slots, and the channel hash, all checked
against Meshtastic's source. Captures are pcap with LoRaTap v0, read back
with TShark 4.2.5; packet RSSI is plain dBm, as Wireshark reads it.

The probe finds the SX1262 (TCXO 1.8 V works) and measures the antenna
path: the Cap's PI4IOE5V6408 at 0x43 must drive P0 high, or the receiver
is deaf (-111.9 dBm flat vs -87 to -94 dBm with P0 high). DIO2 makes no
difference to reception. Receive only; the radio is left asleep.
RadioLib 7.8.1 + probe: +23.6 KB flash, +656 B static RAM (release).

The Radio Service owns the SX1262 and shares the SPI bus with the card;
the LoRa Scanner shows packets (Sniffer) and the band (Sweep). Nothing in
M3 can transmit. Notes and the File Browser move to issues #19 and #3.
