Hi folks,

How do I squeeze more than 240 chars into a string field?

I am trying to fix an issue with the beamforming matrices for 802.11ax
and 802.11be and maybe 802.11ac.

When I try to assemble all of a single SCIDX, I get this:
----------------------------
S [truncated]: SCIDX: -122, phi11:57, phi21:34, phi31:59, phi41:8,
phi51:52, phi61:18, phi71:14, psi21:10, psi31:8, psi41:1, psi51:5,
psi61:5, psi71:3, psi81:4, phi22:33, phi32:22, phi42:22, phi52:10,
phi62:41, phi72:59, psi32:8, psi42:3,
------------------------------

Why is there an arbitrary limit? Is it because I am working with 3.4.8?
