Subject: [PATCH] debug(icom): log the raw packets seen during a control
 handshake
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A rig that answers something unrecognised (a newer model, another firmware)
and a rig that answers nothing are different faults; a silent timeout hides
which. Capped at a dozen packets so a working handshake cannot flood the log.
Prompted by the first IC-7760 network attempt — which turned out to be aimed
at the console's IP, where nothing listens; the remote server lives on the RF
deck.
