+Testing of DBBC power measurement device reveals that it has a **logarithmic output response**!! This is for the "dbbcifa" command as it has to cover -3dBm to -48dBm (Gino on site at Warkworth 1/4/2012).
 Update:13/6/2011: Logarithmic response verified, 37 mV/dB according to data sheet {{:hardware:hmc610lp4-datasheet.pdf|}}

 I'll attach the FS s/w for this in due course.
+=== dbbc01 ===
+The "dbbc01" commnad gives power readings in a linear scale. But only for the sub-band of the total band set. (Gino on site at Warkworth 1/4/2012). If you have set dbbc01 to have a freq of 750MHz and a bandwidth of 16MHz, then you only get a linear power reading for the 16MHz part of the full 512MHz band centered on 750MHz.
