well I just did the naive thing of copying over morsectrl from an ekh03 device running version 2.7.2 onto a halowlink running 2.7.6 and I seem to be able to at least run morsectrl, no guarantees I guess on if it fully works.
also copied it onto a halow link running 2.6.13 where it did not run.

updating that one to 2.7.6 and testing again.
That seems to work.

as an aside what is the best way to collect link statistics from the device(s). I’m thinking mcs, shortgi/longgi, bandwidth, datarates that don’t involve using the web ui.
