La-Crosse HF Signal Confirmation

Good Morning Steve,
I recently ran HeavyWeather to change the Data Logger Interval to match Cumulus and while I was running the software, I noticed that it would appear to get a Receipt or Confirmation of Data Received which in turn Flashes a Red Light to show that HF Signal was received.
I wonder if this data marker is sent by the Thermo-Hydro Sensor and understood by HeavyWeather, if Cumulus has the facility to do something similar?
It would prove helpful in the same way it does for Watson/Fine Offset Stations.
Anyway, I know your busy but just a thought

There's a value at address 54D which has something to do with this. The Open2300 memory map description says it contains "Connection Type: 0=Cable, 3=lost, , B=lost, F=Wireless ", so I guess that values 3 and B correspond to the Fine Offset "sensor contact lost".

I see Steve. Thats useful to know.
I guess all 4 could be used - 0=Cable meaning Data every 8seconds (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
3=Lost - Cable Unplugged Possibly? (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
B=Lost (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
F=Lost - Signal not recieved (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
All 4 values could help provide a status for these Stations?
Once a La-Crosse loses connection Via Cable, it automatically switches to Wireless and visa versa when the cable is plugged in.
Food for thought

Oooops a typo by me - corrected version...

3=Lost - Cable Unplugged Possibly? (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
B=Lost - Signal not recieved (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
F=Wireless meaning Data as and when recieved interval dependent on Wind Speed (Maybe a 1 value could be transmitted in realtime.txt)
