RF front-end settling time
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After tuning, the RF front-end will need time to settle into a usable state.
-Typically, this means that the local oscillators must be given time to lock before streaming begins.
-Lock time is not consistent; it varies depending upon the device and requested settings.
-After tuning and before streaming, the user should
-wait for the "lo_locked" sensor to become true,
-or sleep for a conservative amount of time (perhaps a second).
