rouggy 385e8c4c86 fix: log the grid the station sent, and show the SPE going off first press
Grid: RI0FA transmitted QN35 all evening and was logged with its licence
holder's home square. WSJT-X's logged ADIF usually carries no GRIDSQUARE, so
the lookup was the only source left — and QRZ/HamQTH describe where an operator
LIVES, which for an expedition is the wrong side of the planet.

The square heard on the air is now applied before the lookup runs, so
refineGrid has something to defend. It still upgrades a 4-character square to a
6-character one from the same field, and still refuses a finer square from a
different field.

SPE: decodeCSV marks the client connected on every frame it parses, and the
poll goroutine can be mid-read while PowerOff runs. The frame from a second ago
landed after PowerOff had marked the amp offline and put it straight back,
which is why OFF had to be pressed twice.

Frames are ignored for three seconds after the off key goes out — the window is
opened before the key is sent, so nothing already travelling can beat it. Time
bounded rather than latched: an amp switched back on at its own front panel has
to reappear without being told.

// Package spe drives the SPE Expert 1.3K-FA / 1.5K-FA / 2K-FA amplifiers over
// their proprietary serial protocol (SPE "Application Programmer's Guide" rev 1.1).
// The amp is reached either directly over USB (a virtual COM port) or over TCP via
// an RS232-to-Ethernet bridge — both are just an io.ReadWriteCloser to this code.
//
// Wire format (host → amp): 0x55 0x55 0x55 | CNT | DATA… | CHK
// CNT = number of DATA bytes, CHK = sum(DATA) mod 256.
// Status reply (amp → host): 0xAA 0xAA 0xAA | LEN | <LEN CSV bytes> | chk0 chk1 | CR LF
// LEN is 0x43 (67); the payload is 19 comma-separated fixed fields.
//
// This MVP implements the two commands anchored by worked examples in the guide:
// OPERATE (0x0D, toggles STANDBY↔OPERATE) and STATUS (0x90). Other keystroke codes
// exist but the guide's command table did not extract unambiguously, so they are
// left out rather than risk sending the wrong key to the amplifier.
