Description
There is no helpful documentation to point to for explicit tuning.
The hackrf_set_freq_explicit() function is not documented.
The help text for hackrf_transfer lists the options, but provides no clues on how to use them.
Using explicit tuning requires understanding the HackRF architecture, which is also not well documented (#1011).
(This came up when answering a question on #1001)

Research direction
Start by locating the documentation for the hackrf_set_freq_explicit() function and the help text for hackrf_transfer. Review issue #1011 for the missing HackRF architecture context and issue #1001 for the original usage question. Done means users can find an explanation of explicit tuning, the relevant options, and practical guidance for using them.
