A bit of history. The original idea was to produce a single board that
could be used at either end of the link. The issue with this is that the
common boards had parts that were generally non-informative.
For example, the LCL temp sensor is just the temperature of the board in
your radio shack. The RMT is the temperature of the board in the mounting
tube outside and is used for temperature compensation for the PMI board.
For some reason the i2c addresses were moved during the final production of
the board and the local temperature sensor was removed to reduce cost.
The software can be changed as you display above or through command line
switches. See "runmag -h"
I hope this makes things a bit clearer.
