The word "Total" seems rather odd, given the semantics
of this object.  Furthermore, the MIB review guidelines
section 4.6.1.1 suggest that Unsigned32 or Gauge32
would be a more appropriate type, since negative values
are precluded by the syntax.

(Also, if it's dBc *below* the signal, wouldn't the UNITS be
"-dBc"?)

Question: does this mean that some cases where SP-RFI would
say other(1) this object will say accessDenied(13)?
