Yes, I wrote this when running a version of code that was the precursor 
to the latest release.  The downstream "ALC" works a bit differently 
now, but the message is correct.

The intent of the DSP code is that 4 bars are best for DATA A (and thus 
AFSK) modes.

Let me know if you have problems with this.  We're working hard to get 
it right!
