 Any one can be too weak to read, but a real train lights several bands at once — so istrain
 correlates across all of them.

+Passersby with RF chops: these are the live unknowns. Pull requests, corrections, and "actually,
+it works like this" all welcome.

+- **Range is antenna-bound.** The rail voice band is weak and buried in house RF; gain doesn't help
+  (it just amplifies the noise). A grounded rooftop antenna is the open lever — height and distance
+  from the shack, not dBi. What we've got works; what we want is the dwellers' faint keys cleanly.
+- **Mid-train / DPU bursts (±12.5 kHz off the EOT/HOT centers) are unidentified.** They're *not*
+  drifted EOT (our decoder says no). Next step is sub-channel labeling to separate a real
+  distributed-power emitter from the fixed wayside booster carrier before any raw-IQ demod.
+- **The Head-of-Train frame is only half-cracked.** We recover the frame and decode the *addressed
+  unit* (enough to join head to tail), but the command/type field + BCH are still unread. HOT-format
+  docs are scarce; if you know the framing, we'd love a pointer.
+- **Direction of travel** should fall out of the approach/recede signal envelope — unbuilt, and
+  blocked on the better antenna above.
+- **The brake-pressure taxonomy** (passing / dwelling / cut-and-standing / departing) came from ~50
+  ground-truthed passages on one subdivision. It may read differently on other railroads and
+  operating patterns — more ground truth from other crossings would sharpen it.
