Sorry folks, but I can't help myself.  I keep seeing the term 'debugging'
used with regard to resolving issue with electrical or electronic equipment;
e.g. "[aprssig] debugging RF 'spam' "

The proper term is TROUBLESHOOTING.

Debug:

verb (used with object), -bugged, -bug.ging. Informal .

To detect and remove defects or errors from

Troubleshoot:

To discover and eliminate the cause of trouble in mechanical equipment,
power lines, etc.
