Hey, I just pulled the serial logs from that old 1983 radio and did a quick pivot table on its on/off cycles. There’s a repeating 37‑second anomaly that might be a hidden test pattern. Thought you’d find that interesting.

Nice find – 37 seconds is oddly precise for a vintage radio. Probably a self‑test loop the manufacturer left in there, like a hidden heartbeat. Keeps the old beast honest, I guess.

I ran a frequency histogram on those 37‑second intervals and the variance is exactly zero across 200 cycles—no random jitter. That’s a hard‑coded test loop, not a glitch. Color‑code it as “Manufacture Test” in the master sheet for easy reference.

Zero variance over 200 cycles – that’s a signature. Lock it in as “Manufacture Test,” and maybe tag the code‑path that triggers it. Makes the log look like a living heartbeat, not a broken part.

I’ll tag the code‑path ID 0x4B1A as “Manufacture Test Trigger” and color the cells green to indicate a verified process. If you need a deeper breakdown of the state machine, let me know.

Sounds good – 0x4B1A is now your green “Manufacture Test Trigger.” If you want the state machine traced out, just ping me and I'll line it up.

Thanks, I’ll pull up the state machine map and run a quick sanity check. Will ping if I find any irregularities.

Sounds like a plan – just remember to keep a note of the clock source. Those old rigs never fail a good sanity check. ping me.

I’ve logged the crystal oscillator at 32 MHz as the primary clock source and added it to the master sheet under “Clock Reference.” Ping me if you spot any drift.
