For the LMS-6 sondes at least, there is a serial number for each telemetry report. To get a heads-up of a weakening signal, the percentage of the reports decoded in the last 30 or 60 seconds would be an indicator it's time to start adjusting the antenna.

TBH that's kind of what the SNR indication is meant to do. However, that doesn't work for 1680 MHz sondes because the signal has such a huge modulation index that the fsk_demod I use doesn't work well (I do need to re-test this with the latest fsk_demod update, but i'm not hopeful).

We also currently don't send ever received position from auto_rx into chasemapper (default is an update every 5 seconds). This behaviour could probably be changed without any significant performance impact, so what you propose could probably be made possible

It looked like the other sondes might have more "toys" available for such things. This would be something of a kludge to do something similar for the 1680's, but perhaps a helpful one.
