Set receive confidence minimum SNR threshold (default 2.0).
.B \-c, \-\-confidence min-confidence-threshold
Set receive confidence minimum threshold (default 1.5).
The "confidence" value is a metric based primarily on
the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of the received signal.
This value acts as an FSK decoder "squelch" control.
Increase to accept only very clean signals (up to INFINITY, but
a value around 5.0 is more practical). Decrease to accept partial
decoding of noisy signals (down to 1.0).

.B \-l, \-\-limit max-confidence-search-limit
Set receive confidence maximum search limit (default 2.3).
The "confidence" value is as described above.
This value acts as a performance vs. analysis quality control.
Increase (up to INFINITY) for a more pedantic analysis
and higher CPU usage. Decrease (down to the min-snr-threshold)
and higher CPU usage. Decrease (down to the min-confidence-threshold)
for a sloppier analysis, with lower CPU usage.
