1-byte Echo Tops Format (DB_HEIGHT)

Echo tops are stored to the nearest 100 meters above the ground. Because 0 is the code for no data, values stored in the bytes can be converted to kilometers by subtracting 1 and dividing by 10.

The value 254 indicates that an echo is known to exist from the data, but it could not be measured.
